This book explores the influence of Foucault's later writings on
basic theoretical and research concerns in the social sciences. The
introduction contextualizes the development of Foucault's writings
within a biographical frame and leads into Foucault's College de
France lecture, "Kant on Enlightenment and Revolution" which, along
with Colin Gordon's commentary, raises the issues crucial to
Foucault's latter project - the relationship between reason and
liberty. The answer suggested - involving a reformulation of the
relationship between the subject and power - connects with the
issues raised in subsequent chapters, including Pasquino's focus on
the relationship between the governmentality of the modern state
and the self-governing individual and Meuret's analysis of the link
between Adam Smith's novel conception of political economy and the
emergent political structures of modern capitalist states. The
following four chapters all extend Foucault's insights into new
domains of social analysis, namely the role of language in
constructing and governing the econmomy (Miller and Rose), and the
shifting relations between sovereignty and responsibility in the
welfare state (Donzelot).
