Michel Foucault had a great influence upon a wide range of
disciplines, and his work has been widely interpreted and is
frequently referred to, but it is often difficult for beginners to
find their way into the complexities of his thought. This is
especially true for readers whose background is Anglo-American or
"analytic" philosophy. C. G. Prado argues in this updated
introduction that the time is overdue for Anglo-American
philosophers to avail themselves of what Foucault offers. In this
clear and greatly-revised second edition, Prado focuses on
Foucault's "middle" or genealogical work, particularly "Discipline
and Punish "and Volume One of "The History of Sexuality, " in which
Foucault most clearly comes to grips with the historicization of
truth and knowledge and the formation of subjectivity.
Understanding Foucault's thought on these difficult subjects
requires working through much complexity and ambiguity, and Prado's
direct and accessible introduction is the ideal place to start.
