| Résumé : |
For Michel Foucault, philosophy was a way of questioning the allegedly necessary truths that underpin the practices and institutions of modern society. The essays in this volume provide a comprehensive overview of Foucault's major themes and texts, from his early work on madness through his history of sexuality. Special attention is also paid to thinkers and movements, from Kant through current feminist theory, that are particularly important for understanding his work and its impact. This revised edition contains five new essays and revisions of many others, and the extensive bibliography has been updated.

In short, it meets the claim Gutting establishes early on, "this set of essays does hope to provide an informal and reasonably accessible guide to most of Foucault's major works and themes" (vii)." Perspectives on Political Science ### Book Description Michel Foucault was one of the most important contemporary French thinkers. He was of major significance as a philospher, historian, and social critic. This volume offers a systematic and comprehensive survey of his work through a set of specially commissioned essays. These essays provide an introduction to Foucault's major books, from his early work on madness through his history of sexuality, and relate his thought to major contemporary movements such as critical theory and feminism. This revised edition contains five new essays and an extensive, updated bibliography. |
