    An ethical life in community
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2020*

Judith Butler’s argument is complex, but it is developed in a lucid and engaging style. Above all, the book is about the things that matter. Using a range of sources, including Adorno, Levinas, and Foucault, Butler undertakes an exercise in moral philosophy in “a contemporary social frame” meaning “that moral questions not only emerge in the context of social relations, but that the form these questions take changes according to context”.Key themes include - this is a process, we cannot do it alone, it depends on others, hence the importance of the theme of relationality. And, in this process, we must be responsible for telling the truth about ourselves. In simple terms then, 'Giving an Account of Oneself' is about living an ethical life in-community. Moreover, being ethical and being human go together. Of course, Butler recognizes the task of becoming human is complex. The key to understanding this complexity, however, is the concept of 'subject formation'. In other words, how we have been formed, with all its flaws, is the key to understanding how we are re-formed.It is a brilliant book. Maybe her best. In the process, academic integrity is demonstrated as she critiques her work (e.g. The Psychic Life of Power) and the work of revered others, even Foucault.Steven Ogden, Charles Sturt University, author “The Church, Authority, and Foucault”

    Know where you stand and how you position yourself
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 18, 2019*

Kown yourself is the fundamental stance that must be taken in any kind of research. Its possibly the hardest to give an account of that self if there is no reflexivity of the author/researcher's positioning.
