For Michel Foucault, philosophy was a way of questioning the
allegedly necessary truths that underpin the practices and
institutions of modern society. He carried this out in a series of
deeply original and strikingly controversial studies on the origins
of modern medical and social scientific disciplines. These studies
have raised fundamental questions about the nature of human
knowledge and its relation to power structures, and have become
major topics of discussion throughout the humanities and social
sciences. 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.
