For scholars interested in philosophy and spirituality

Bridges gaps between modern theory and ancient practices

You will gain fresh insights into self and spirituality

This book explores the intersection of Foucault’s theories and Eastern Christian practices.

In this book Sergey Horujy undertakes a novel comparative analysis of Foucault's theory of practices of the self and the Eastern Orthodox ascetical tradition of Hesychasm, revealing deep affinities between these two radical subject-less approaches to anthropology. In facilitating this unusual dialogue, he offers both an original treatment of ascetical and mystical practices and an up-to-date interpretation of Foucault that goes against the grain of mainstream scholarship."
