Now, this is the first reading guide to Foucault's dense and sometimes confusing text. Mark Kelly systematically unpacks the intricacies of Foucault's dense and sometimes confusing exposition, in a straightforward way, putting it in its historical and theoretical context. He looks at the book, its structure and philosophical significance, and corrects several key mistranslations in the only available English version of the 'Will to Knowledge'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731779920145,"sku":"NGR9780748648894","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0748648895.jpg?v=1768561278"},{"product_id":"foucault-and-politics-book-mark-g-e-kelly-9780748676866","title":"Foucault and Politics","description":"A clear and critical account of the political dimension of Foucault's thought and its relation to real politics One of the most prominent theorists in the contemporary humanities and social sciences, Michel Foucault is known as a radical thinker who disturbs our understanding of society. Yet until now comparatively little attention has been given to his politics, not least because he presented a moving target, continually changing his concerns and his apparent position. This book surveys Foucault's thought in the context of his life and times, utilising the latest primary and secondary materials to explain the political implications of each phase of his work and the relationships between each phase. It also illustrates how his thought has been used in the political sphere and examines the importance of his work for politics today. Key Features -Examines the relationship between Foucault's thought and politics -Overviews the political reception of Foucault's thought -Thoroughly assesses Foucault's thought and the political uses to which it has been put -Uses text boxes to highlight and explain key ideas Mark G. Kelly is the author of The Political Philosophy of Michel Foucault (2008) and Foucault's History of Sexuality Volume I, The Will to Knowledge (Edinburgh University Press, 2013). He is Senior Lecturer at the University of western Sydney.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50362569326865,"sku":"CIN0748676864G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51006604837137,"sku":"NIN9780748676866","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51392057770257,"sku":"GOR014252662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51922740085009,"sku":"GOR014463766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B01BNHFP4Y.jpg?v=1768559265"},{"product_id":"for-foucault-book-mark-g-e-kelly-9781438467603","title":"For Foucault","description":"Calls for a Foucauldian approach to political thought that is intrinsically resistant to power and subordination to public policy.  This book comprises a series of staged confrontations between the thought of Michel Foucault and a cast of other figures in European and Anglophone political philosophy, including Marx, Lenin, Althusser, Deleuze, Rorty, Honneth, and Geuss. Focusing on the status of normativity in their thought, Mark G. E. Kelly explains how Foucault's position in relation to political theory is different, and, over the course of the book, describes a distinctive Foucauldian stance in political thought that is maximally anti-normative, anti-theoretical, and anti-political. For Foucault aims to undermine attempts to discern the appropriate form of political action, instead putting forward a rigorously critical program for a political theory that lacks any moralizing or totalizing dimension, and serves only to side with resistance against power, and never with power itself. Looking at attempts to think radically about politics from Marx to the present day, Kelly traces a novel history of political thought as a trend of attempts to overcome the constraints of normativity, theoreticism, and subordination to public policy. He concludes by assessing and rejecting recent attempts to reclaim Foucault for a form of normative politics by associating him with neoliberalism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52583967392017,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52583968080145,"sku":"NLS9781438467603","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438467603.jpg?v=1761048611"},{"product_id":"for-foucault-book-mark-g-e-kelly-9781438467610","title":"For Foucault","description":"Calls for a Foucauldian approach to political thought that is intrinsically resistant to power and subordination to public policy.
