Michel Foucault's involvement with politics, both as an individual
and a writer, has been much commented upon but until now has not
been systematically reviewed. This is the first major introductory
study of Michel Foucault as a political thinker. Jonathon Simons
explores the importance of the political in all areas of Foucault's
work and life, including important material only recently made
available and the implications of various revelations about his
private life. Simons relates Foucault's work both to contemporary
political thinkers such as Michael Walzer, Charles Taylor and
Jurgen Habermas, and to those challenging conventional political
categories, especially people who write on feminist and gay theory,
such as Judith Butler. Students of Foucault and of political and
social theory, as well as those working in lesbian and gay theory,
and feminist studies, will find this book essential.
