Michel Foucault's historical and philosophical investigations have
gone through many phases: the archaeological, the genealogical, and
the ethical among them. What remains constant, however, is the
question that motivates them: who are we? Todd May follows
Foucault's itinerary from his early history of madness to his
posthumously published College de France lectures and shows how the
question of who we are shifts and changes but remains constantly at
or just below the surface of his writings. By approaching
Foucault's work in this way, May is able to offer readers an
engaging and illuminating way to understand Foucault. Each of
Foucault's key works - "Madness and Civilization," "The Archaeology
of Knowledge," "The Order of Things," "Discipline and Punish" and
the multi-volume "History of Sexuality" - are examined in detail
and situated in an historical context that makes effective use of
comparisons with other thinkers such as Freud, Nietzsche and
Sartre. Throughout this book May strikes a balance between
sympathetic presentation and criticism of Foucault's ideas and in
so doing exposes Foucault's contributions of lasting value. "The
Philosophy of Foucault" is an accessible and stimulating
introduction to one of the most popular and influential thinkers of
recent years and will be welcomed by students studying Foucault as
part of politics, sociology, history and philosophy courses.
