Michel Foucault developed the concept of parrhesia as a mode of discourse in which one speaks openly and truthfully about one's opinions and ideas without the use of rhetoric, manipulation, or generalization.

Achieving that difficult task required continual care of the self, but also meant being someone who embodies truth, and so can readily practice the Classical-era rhetorical device of parrhesia: “ to speak candidly, and to ask forgiveness for so speaking ”; and, by extension, practice the moral obligation to speak the truth for the common good, even at personal risk.

In rhetoric, parrhesia is a figure of speech described as: to speak candidly or to ask forgiveness for so speaking.
