Cette série explore des interrogations philosophiques profondes concernant l'autonomie individuelle et l'existence collective. Elle examine les manières dont les individus se façonnent eux-mêmes et leurs relations avec autrui par le biais de vertus telles que le courage et la véridicité. S'appuyant sur des traditions anciennes, la série démontre comment ces techniques d'autogouvernance constituent le fondement d'une société libre. Elle offre des perspectives stimulantes à quiconque s'intéresse à l'éthique, à la politique et à la liberté humaine.

The Courage of the Truth is the last course that Michel Foucault delivered at the College de France before his death in 1984. In this course, he continues the theme of the previous year's lectures in exploring the notion of truth- telling in politics to establish a number of ethically irreducible conditionsbased on courage and conviction.
