In a summation of the writings seen as Foucaults expressions in response to a social and civilized man. Foucault seizes the educators of antiquity to lay hold of the principle that knowledge is power, as truth is a power. This Power is viewed in light of discourse in the sense that participating in the dialogoues of linguistics and the socialization of self discilpline and moral theories one encounters the sense of self, that determinesthe the productivity of it's own initiatives. Foucault elaborates on theories of Marx and Freud, in support of Marxist theory sying that by restoring our commerce to the hands of productivity makes it possible to have our own relationship to revolutions, that are inter-personal, based on freedom, and not subject to correction by a privelaged class. It is in this vein That the author infers that Foucault is stating that moral behavior in terms of what is right and wrong is open to speculation. He is cautious about freudian theory as an exclusion of the discourse of the mentally challenged and the testimonies so dismissed by criminal justice. In regards to the death instinct as given by Freaud. Foucault believes that man is a social animal, and open to what he considers to be a bio power or a bio ethic, which is a life sustaining force that can associate itself to the views of social change and moral edification. The last chapter is on Foucaults sexuality which clearly states that mankind makes a science of anything it can control, as Foucault warns that sexuality like discourse should never be lmited to a privelaged class, and that we should be cautious when advancing sexual theories while prohibiting sexual behavior when discussing subjects.
