Life Tension And Self Redemption

In the last few years of his life,Foucault devoted himself to the study of the way in which man turned himself into a subject.This is mainly reflected in his analysis of the field of sexual experience and his description of the history of Western sexual experience.The focus of thinking has shifted to the so-called self-centered subject matter.Foucault deeply felt the paradox of the relationship between knowledge and survival in modern society.On the surface,knowledge is a means of survival.People's desperate pursuit of knowledge seems to be only for the sake of survival.In fact,people's living space and purpose have already been covered and determined by knowledge in advance,and modern people must survive to survive.Ways to "enter the truth." Because truth is not only a means of interpreting the world,it is also wrapped in the hard shell of rights,forcing us to obey and make changes,transformations,and shifts in the trajectory of existence.This reveals the practical struggle of life at the philosophical level and also opens up space for the self-salvation of the subject of life:how should people live,whether it is to be a firm martyr of knowledge,or to escape from the control of knowledge,and to be deviant?Foucault firmly chose the latter.He wants to break old knowledge dogmas,restore the true relationship between knowledge and life,and turn knowledge from a self-consistent rational activity into a part of life activities.Specifically,in terms of superiority,the sensible body subject replaces the rational conscious subject and the bioethics replaces the scientific knowledge theory.Therefore,in Foucault's view,"focusing on yourself,is more fundamental than the"knowing yourself' in terms of the subject's survival.He considers the subject and the truth,the issue of survival and aesthetic issues in the history of the subject,and tries to solve the problem with his bioethics,thus saving the subject from the plight of knowledge.The self is not a ready-made thing.As far as life is concerned,it is neitheran abstract human concept nor a blind will,but an invention,an overall structure composed of various elements and full of tension.Within the life there is a complex interaction between the spirit-body-energy elements.Therefore,to grasp this concept,it is necessary to start with its internal tension and to demonstrate and recover itself along the historical path of life technology.Through various practical techniques,the self has allowed the truth to enter the subject,completed the subject's self-shaping,and ransformed himself into a kind of "moral subject," thus opening a path to self-stylized aesthetics.This road needs constant confirmation from the physical,especially sexual extreme experience,because body and sex have become extremely fragile under the control of pervasive rights.It has been destroyed in the long history and has long lost its unbreakable production.Sexual or destructive.Therefore,it is necessary to restore sexuality as a kind of "self practice" and "self art".In Foucault's main theory and method,it shows strong dialectical characteristics.According to Foucault's theory of life ethic,in the relationship between self and self,due to the detachment of intellectualism,its inner structure of tension is completed:Freedom constitutes the existence condition of bioethics;Ethics is the reflexive form adopted by freedom.In this way,the subject is not an entity,and the embodied person is created under the framework of "knowledge-power".At the same time,it is created by objectification,decentralization,and instrumentalization.So Foucault reveals "people.The death." The real subject can only appear in the "self-practice" of the body or life through various"subjectivization methods".The body as a form of life,in order to get rid of the fate of being ruled,rectified and embarrassed,the ultimate way out can only be hidden ethical transformation.However,this transformation is not based on its own initiative,but on the basis of the invention of the aesthetic goal.It is through the intermediary of self-technology and life style that the ethical self will be freed from the differentiated life practice.In this way,the subject of life in history has fallen into a game between himself and himself.It will always rise and fall in a vortex of contradictions.Freedom is not a possibility setting,but a never-ending reality process.It is directly posed as an ethic in practice.In ethical practice,the subject of life is self-shaping and self-relieving,self-identity is self-denying,and self-enjoyment is self-regulating.Life is constantly surpassed in this ethical technical intermediary.In the end,Foucault concluded:"The problem is how to make their own lifestyle more beautiful.What I want to achieve is how to form and develop self-realization so that I can become a producer of my own more beautiful life."...
