The Birth of Biopolitics continues to pursue the themes of Foucault's lectures from Security, Territory, Population. Having shown how eighteenth-century political economy marks the birth of a new governmental rationality--seeking maximum effectiveness by governing less and in accordance with the naturalness of the phenomena to be governed--Michel Foucault undertakes a detailed analysis of the forms of this liberal governmentality. In a direct and conversational tone, this book raises questions of political philosophy and social policy that are at the heart of current debates about the role and status of neo-liberalism in twentieth century politics.

终于读完了,其实觉得读福柯,应在阅读本专业原始文献之后,否则便容易带着问题找材料,行削足适履之弊。不过还是有很多过瘾之处的,譬如这句: The neo-liberals practically never argue with Marx for reasons that we may think are to do with economic snobbery.....brilliant.

Crazy lecture.这一讲座里并未直接涉及生命政治学。而是立足于新自由主义批判(是不是批判依旧有争论),新自由主义与古典自由主义的最主要区别是什么,便在于政府作为看门狗的监管角色转变为贯彻整个交易过程的角色,可以说,我们的自由由政府划定、同时也需要政府保证。政府性和治理在后期福柯哲学中的位置举足轻重。

首先这一年讲的是(新)自由主义的诞生,和生命政治关系不大 可以参考Foucault and Neoliberalism来读,福柯自己对新自由主义的态度是有些暧昧的 然后就是,福柯对统计学和人口的概念理解不足,导致这本只能当作对新自由主义的基本界定的引用来源,而很难再继续推进
