- 4603: Michel Foucault And The Cultiv
- ... of living. The art of living in this sense means one whose main purpose is to be like no one else. As such, he felt he was directly useful to the public because he created new possibilities for life. His care for his own self allowed for the possibility that he could aid others in doing the same. He was trying to develop a way for one to work on himself ... power. Though power comes through individuals, most often it is not under their control.
