https://catherineproject.org/offerings
June 9: “What is an Author?” (15pp)
 June 16: “Nietzsche, Genealogy, History” (19pp)
 June 23: “Subject and Power” (19pp)
 June 30: “Truth and Power” (19pp)
 July 7: “On the Genealogy of Ethics” (24pp)
These five essays were the texts for a brief Catherine Project group on Foucault. I had only vague knowledge of his work beforehand, so the group was enlightening as it covered a much wider range of ideas than I'd expected. The essays/interviews were, perhaps not surprisingly, quite relevant to contemporary issues: gender roles, identity, AI, power and subjectification, reconciling various views of history.
I'm not rating this since I'm not qualified. It wasn't an easy read, though the group was extremely helpful in that regard, but it was intriguing.
