Johannes Heinrich searches for forms of autonomous individuality that do not retreat behind the postmodern dissolution of the subject. To this end, he discusses Nietzsche's account of the sovereign individual and compares this concept with Foucault's care of the self. The results are used to analyze the contemporary philosophy of the subject with regard to its understanding of autonomous individuality.
