Contents:

Discipline, freedom and resistance : preliminary reflections by way of an engagement with Foucault -- The self against and for itself : Montaigne on freedom, discipline, and resistance -- The self against and for itself : Nietzsche as theorist of disciplined freedom of action and free-spiritedness -- Stuart Hampshire on freedoms and unfreedoms of mind and of action -- Stuart Hampshire on freedoms and unfreedoms of action : freedom, discipline, and resistance.

Summary: Can any of us ever really be free? Do we follow the rules our society gives us because we want to, or because we are forced to? Discipline, Freedom, Resistance challenges the received wisdom that discipline and freedom are opposite and mutually exclusive. Though it is typically argued that a well-ordered liberal society must discipline its more unruly citizens to maintain freedom for all, Flathman shows how resistance to rules can mean more than criminals breaking laws. Resistance can also mean political protest and political dialogues about what the rules can be. Discipline, Freedom, Resi.
