"An outstandingly good introduction to Foucault's work: lucid,
measured, well organised, and covering this complex and in many
ways heterogeneous body of work with remarkable thoroughness and
ease." - Professor John Frow, University of Melbourne "This is a
clear and understandable book, starting with a very helpful
glossary of theoretical terms... an accessible introduction to
Foucault's major work exploring power and control, governmentality
and ethics which are crucial for students to understand." - Tracy
Ramsey, Liverpool Hope University "A very good accompaniment to any
student thinking seriously about following the work of Foucault...
Easy to follow, very well structured." - Mark Timoney, Sligo
Institute of Technology Michel Foucault is now regarded as one of
the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. He is known
for his sensibility of critique and his commitment to movements for
social change. His analysis of the ways our notions of truth,
meaning, knowledge and reason are shaped by historical forces
continues to influence thinkers around the world. Understanding
Foucault offers a comprehensive introduction to Foucault's work.
The authors examine Foucault's thinking in the context of the
philosophies he engaged with during his career, and the events he
participated in, including the student protests of 1968. A unique
feature of the book is its consideration of recently published
lectures and minor works, and the authors show how these illuminate
and extend our understanding of Foucault's major books.
Understanding Foucault provides an accessible entree to the world
of this extraordinary and challenging philosopher.
