The Philosophy of Foucault: Volume 8 (Continental European Philosophy) - Tapa blanda

"I cannot think of a better way to present Foucault's work to students. It is the most clarifying, inviting text on Foucault I have read and, most importantly, without watering down the profundity of Foucault's own work." Mike Mahon, Boston University "May pulls off the difficult feat of giving what's needed for a helpful introductory survey while still offering interpretations that those already acquainted with Foucault's work should find interesting and challenging." Gary Gutting, University of Notre Dame "I cannot think of a better way to present Foucault's work to students.

What remains constant is that Foucault never stops asking the question of who we are and how we came to be that way. Following Foucault's itinerary from his early history of madness to his recently published Collhge de France lectures, Todd May shows that the question of who we are, while changing, remains always at or just below the surface of Foucault's writings. In so doing he offers students an immediately engaging and perceptive way to understand Foucault. The Philosophy of Foucault is an accessible and stimulating introduction that will be welcomed by students studying Foucault as part of politics, sociology, and history courses as well as within philosophy.
