Foucault saw the notion of parrhesia (truth-telling) as the most important factor for how governments could and should communicate with their people and vice versa. This important collection compiles and analyses Foucault's views on parrhesia to shed new light on his ideas on the importance of truth-telling in democracies.

This study conceptualizes power through a philosophical examination of its uses in contemporary social theory. It draws on the insights of Michel Foucault, Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. It brings this Continental tradition into a creative dialogue with the Anglo-American tradition.
