Foucault's philosophical relationship to Heidegger is the subject
of continuing academic debate. To date, no comprehensive
interpretation of this relationship has emerged. This book provides
a groundbreaking new approach to Foucault and Heidegger's
relationship, based in an original approach to the problem itself.
Rather than explore points of similarity between these thinkers,
the book identifies a Heideggerian style, or practice, of thinking
in Foucault's work, which first emerges in his early studies of
madness and literature. Through a series of penetrating studies,
Foucault's Heidegger shows how this philosophical practice informs
the content and objectives of Foucault's critical writings to the
end of his career. This argument clarifies the central role of
transformative experience in Foucault's work. In addition to
establishing the nature of Foucault's engagement with Heidegger, it
provides a new perspective on the role of 'fiction' in Foucault's
critique, and revitalizes our conception of Foucault's status as a
philosopher. Foucault's Heidegger will be a landmark in Foucault
studies, the first comprehensive account of Foucault's relationship
to Heidegger in print. As such, it will be a key reference for
future debates on this matter and discussions of Foucault's work
generally.
