Foucault lived in Tunisia for two years and travelled to Japan and
Iran more than once. Yet throughout his critical scholarship, he
insisted that the cultures of the "Orient" constitute the "limit"
of Western rationality. Using archival research supplemented by
interviews with key scholars in Tunisia, Japan and France, this
book examines the philosophical sources, evolution as well as
contradictions of Foucault's experience with non-Western cultures.
Beyond tracing Foucault's journey into the world of otherness, the
book reveals the personal, political as well as methodological
effects of a radical conception of cultural difference that
extolled the local over the cosmopolitan.
