Tracking the development of Foucault's key concepts Lemke offers
the most comprehensive and systematic account of Michel Foucault's
work on power and government from 1970 until his death in 1984. He
convincingly argues, using material that has only partly been
translated into English, that Foucault's concern with ethics and
forms of subjectivation is always already integrated into his
political concerns and his analytics of power. The book also shows
how the concept of government was taken up in different lines of
research in France before it gave rise to "governmentality studies"
in the Anglophone world. A Critique of Political Reason: Foucault's
Analysis of Modern Governmentality provides a clear and
well-structured exposition that is theoretically challenging but
also accessible for a wider audience. Thus, the book can be read
both as an original examination of Foucault's concept of government
and as a general introduction to his "genealogy of power."
