Not, apparently, in the "knowledge" of the history of ideas "determined" by the "regulative discourses," the "frameworks of intelligibility," the "disciplinary regimes" "determining" the ideas of Miles and Piash. Also, these "discourses," "frameworks," "regimes" are, according to them, not "modern" since they have no logical space for the idea of rational self-determination. This "knowledge" of the ideas dominant in "modernity" differs from the knowledge that the scientific materialism that became dominant in modern Western thought in the 17th century and that remains dominant today has no logical space for the idea of rational self-determination first elaborated in Greek thought and then sublated in the "postmodern," in this sense, thinking of Hegel, Marx and Husserl.
Ironically, you can find this knowledge of the origin of the idea in the sympathetic and insightful elaboration of the stoic version of it in the third volume of Foucault's History of Sexuality, "The Care of the Soul."
