On p. 93, Foucault writes that La Perriè re’s account of government is “multifarious”—that it points to the co-existence of “many governments in relation to which the princegoverning his state is only one particular mode. On the other hand, all thesegovernments are internal to society itself, or to the state. It is within the state that thefather governs his family, the superior governs the convent, and so on. There is thenboth a plurality of forms of government and the immanence of practices ofgovernment to the state, a multiplicity and immanence of this activity that radicallydistinguishes it from the transcendent singularity of Machiavelli’s prince.” What doesit mean to say that practices of government are “immanent to the state?” And whatabout La Perriè re’s account of government makes it so revolutionary in relation to thatof Machiavelli? In what sense was it “anti- Machiavellian?” In what sense might anaccount like that of La Perriè re provide a framework for the articulation of a liberalaccount of government? And why do you think that Machiavelli might have made acomeback as part of a broader critique of the liberal tradition that began to take shapein the early 19th century?
