Foucault’s work on power matters now more than ever in this era of #interregnum, polycrisis, concentration of political power, and erosion of democracy and civil rights. "Power is all the more cunning because its basic forms can change in response to our efforts to free ourselves from its grip" https://aeon.co/essays/why-foucaults-work-on-power-is-more-important-than-ever #Foucault #literarycritic #power #historyofideas#politicalphilosophy

The Conduct of Politics by Fabian Wendt, 2026 Do politicians have to get dirty hands - and what does that mean? Is it okay to be corrupt, when corruption is systemic? When is it a good thing to make compromises in politics? These are questions about political conduct that are raised in political ethics, a somewhat underappreciated subfield of political philosophy. #books#nonfiction#PoliticalPhilosophy#PoliticalEthics#politics
