福柯认为主体是权力/知识制度的功能。这一说法似乎是有效的，因为所有的行为都受到其社会背景的影响：主体不是自主的。所有的行为和信念都是由社会背景决定的，这种说法是不成立的：主体是一个能动者，可以在给定的社会背景下做出选择并创造性地行动。然后，本文开始通过福柯关于治理和关心自我的伦理的工作来探索他的写作阅读的规范含义。首先，一个组成的阅读被证明足以维持系谱学的批判力量。然后，它被证明支持一种对权力的道德偏好，即承认他人是代理人，而不是暴力。最后，它被证明支持对抵制现代权力正常化影响的自我技术的伦理偏好。
Foucault argues the subject is a function of regimes of power/knowledge. The claim seems to be valid as the composed one that all agency is influenced by its social context: the subject is not autonomous. The claim is not valid as the excitable one that all actions and beliefs are fixed by their social context: the subject is an agent who can make choices and act creatively against a given social background. This essay then sets outs to explore the normative implications of a composed reading of Foucault through his work on governmentality and an ethic of care for the self. To begin, a composed reading is shown to be sufficient to sustain the critical force of genealogy. Then it is shown to support an ethical preference for power that recognises the other as an agent rather than violence. Finally it is shown to support an ethical preference for technologies of the self that resist the normalizing effects of modern power.
