Question

What is the cynical notion. That.the speaker refers to?

Answer 1

Answer:

As Foucault succinctly put it, when a speaker engages in parrhesia, he 'uses his freedom and chooses frankness instead of persuasion, truth instead of falsehood or silence, the risk of death instead of life and security, criticism instead of flattery, and moral duty instead of self-interest and moral apathy.'
