This lecture discusses key ideas from the work of the 20th century philosopher and historian, Michel Foucault, "Technologies of the Self"

It focuses specifically on the continuities and changes in how early Christians understood self-knowledge and the care of the self. He identifies two main sets of practices - exomologesis and exagoreusis - and explains what they consist in and how they were understood and applied
