Sensitive to the discontinuities in Foucault's thought, neither
critical nor slavishly devotional, On the Use and Abuse of Foucault
for Politics demonstrates how Foucault is relevant for contemporary
democratic theory. Beginning with a discussion of the interrelated
ideas of power and resistance, Brent Pickett provides an
interpretation of Foucault's political philosophy, including a
comprehensive overview of the reasons for various conflicting
interpretations, and then explores how well the different
'Foucaults' can be used in progressive politics. Accessible and
insightful, On the Use and Abuse of Foucault for Politics is
valuable for specialists in Foucault and for students of postmodern
and democratic theory alike.
