<b>Gros Frédéric. & Lévy, C.</b> <i>Foucault et la philosophie antique</i>. Paris: Kimé, 2003.

The panorama of contemporary philosophy is divided over the status to be granted to Greco-Roman thought.Some authors prefer to discredit ancient philosophy, such as Heidegger (Being and Time) and Derrida, for whom the Platonic philosophy of truth and the Aristotelian philosophy of time are to be de(con)structed, and the Critical theory in its Habermasian version, which barely goes beyond the "Unfinished project of Modernity".There are also the nostalgics of "beautiful harmony" such as Gadamer, who from a conservative perspective rehabilitates the Platonic dialogical ideal, as well as the historians of ancient philosophy.And there are finally those who risk an innovative and productive reading of the ancient thought.The latter include the young Heidegger, who sees Aristotle as a precursor of the hermeneutics of facticity, the mature Heidegger who commemorates the pre-Socratics' poetry, Deleuze, who proposes a creative reading of Lucretius and Stoicism, and Foucault whose later writings (1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984) develop the original thesis of a regrettable forgetfulness of the ancient care of the self (epimeleia heautou).The older Foucault's interest in ancient philosophy is consistent with his intellectual cursus in that he remains faithful to the break with utopias by considering the necessary play between power and knowledge, and ultimately conceives of the interweaving of the liberation process and the "techniques of self" (or the power exerted by oneself over oneself).This leads Foucault to undertake a genealogy of the modes of subjectivation and, more specifically, to write a history of the ways of caring for oneself.The late Foucault widens the historical extent of his research, which was hitherto limited to the period from the Renaissance (fifteenth and sixteenth centuries) to Modernity ( nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries), and extends it back to Antiquity.Foucault et la philosophie antique is the title of the proceedings from an international conference organized in Paris in 2001 around a course given by Foucault in 1981-1982 at the Collège de France, entitled Herméneutique du sujet (Gallimard/Seuil, 2001).F. Gros, who coedited Foucault et la philosophie antique, also helped edit this course, and wrote the luminous and generous "Situation du cours" (Herméneutique du sujet, p. 487-526).Volumes II and III of the History of Sexuality (1984) had already developed the main concepts developed by
