This book is one of the famous French thinker Foucault's lecture series at the Collège de France. The lecture was given in 1984 and was also Foucault's last lecture at the Collège de France. Three months later, he passed away. In this year's course, Foucault's visual starting point is an analysis of the ancient Greek concept of parrhesia, which is characterized by the speaker's authentic words. Through the analysis of Socrates and Cynicism, Foucault's analysis of parrhesia involves three aspects: analysis of truth-telling methods, study of governmentality, and identification of self-practice.

Foucault believed that the soul should observe itself. It is like an eye. When trying to reflect on itself, it has to see itself through the reflection of the eyeball of the other eye. This begins to see the self as a reality ontologically separate from the body, in the form of the soul, which has the possibility and ethical responsibility to self-reflect. This opens up a mode of truth-telling and parrhesia, whose function and purpose is to The soul is ultimately reintroduced into their own way of life and world.
