Studies in the Philosophy of Michel Foucault: A French Alternative to Anglo-Americanism

Brian Lightbody, Rohit Dalvi, "Studies in the Philosophy of Michel Foucault: A French Alternative to Anglo-Americanism"
2010 | ISBN-10: 0773413243, 0779903757 | 154 pages | PDF | 4 MB

A collection that reminds the reader that Foucault was first and foremost a philosopher. It focuses on the three principal aspects of Foucault's work as Foucault himself acknowledged them to be namely, subjectivity, truth and power.

Review
"The present collection of essays has the great merit of clarifying Foucault's ethical and political views in relation to some previous works and shedding new light on the process of self-transformation. More importantly perhaps, the authors masterfully show what philosophy can achieve when it dares to challenge well entrenched views on contemporary ethical and social issues and, at the same time, seeks to remain reliant on its own historical roots."
