Foucault: veridikcia, alethurgia, parrhésia (Foucault: veridiction, alethurgy, parrhēsia)
Abstract
The aim of the article is to clarify key concepts of the late thought of Michel Foucault who works with them in his lectures at the Collège de France between the years 1980–1984. On the one hand, the concepts of veridiction, alethurgy, and parrhēsia form a part of Foucault’s interest in the study of relationship between subjectivity and truth. On the other hand, these concepts create a new field of questioning that pushes Foucault from the history of subjectivity to the history of the games of truth and untruth in Western thinking and to the critical hermeneutics of ourselves.
