Abstract
This chapter takes up the possibility of ‘lines of fragility’ explored in Chap. 2, in relation to education, through Foucault’s later work on subjectivity and ‘the care of the self’. It both considers subjectivity as a significant site of political struggle and education and explores some of the techniques of care that Foucault draws upon—from Greco-Roman and early Christian sources—as a pedagogy of the self. Drawing on the work of Infinito and others the outlines of a Foucauldian education are sketched. This means recognising students as ethical beings capable of reflection, decision-making and responsibility for their identity and their social relations.
