This book (ISBNs: 2020658690, 1403986665, 9505578148) contains Foucault's 1982-1983 lectures. Please DO NOT combine this book with the 1983-1984 lectures, Le gouvernement de soi et des autres : Tome 2, Le courage de la verité (ISBN: 2020658704). It is called volume 2 of The Government of Self and Others, but it is a different work from the original volume with that title.
