In chapter three we looked at the notion of personal autonomy and how from Foucault's perspective the notion of an independent autos "adopting" a nomos was difficult to maintain, or make sense of, because the autos was always contaminated by the nomos. It was argued that technologies of domination and technologies of the self were such as to construct an autos "predisposed" to accept a certain type of nomos, and a type which can lead to subjection and domination.
