Michel Foucault (1926-1984) was acknowledged as the preeminent philosopher of France in the 1970s and 1980s, and continues to have enormous impact throughout the world in many disciplines. His books include The Government of Self and Others, The Courage of Truth, The Birth of Biopolitics, and The Punitive Society.
Praise for Foucault's Lectures at the Coll�ge de France Series:
"Foucault must be reckoned with." --New York Times Book Review
"[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the
familiar surfaces of established intellectual codes and ask new
questions...[He] gives dramatic quality to the movement of
culture." --New York Review of Books "These lectures offer
important insights into the evolution of the primary focus of
Foucault's later work--the relationship between power and
knowledge." --Library Journal "Foucault is quite central to our
sense of where we are..." --The Nation "Ideas spark off nearly
every page...The words may have been spoken in [the 1970s] but they
seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday."
--Bookforum
