Reading Ladelle McWhorter's Bodies and Pleasures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 March 2020
Abstract
Ladelle McWhorter's Bodies and Pleasures provides an unusual and important reading of Michel Foucault's later work. This response is an effort to introduce McWhorter's project and to describe the challenge it presents to engage in askesis, the transformative exercise of thinking, which McWhorter's work itself exemplifies.
