Abnormal by Michel Foucault

Abnormal by Michel Foucault

Michel Foucault remains the essential philosopher of the modern world

Abnormal make[s] a compelling case that practices of confinement, medico-legal judgement, and sexual normalization have been constituted within struggles for scientific power and control* Notre Dame Philosophical Review *
The volume allows us to observe Foucault in the laboratory, at the threshold of a major re-orientation...indispensable reading for anybody interested in the history of medicine, psychiatry, sexuality, or the fluctuations of Foucault's thinking. * Medical History Journal *
These lecture courses are valuable for Foucault scholarship not only because they supplement the arguments given by Foucault in Discipline and Punish and The History of Sexuality but also because there are topics that come to the foreground in the lectures in a way that goes beyond the published texts. * Foucault Studies Journal *

Michel Foucault was one of the pre-eminent intellectuals of the twentieth century, fundamentally challenging our understandings of power and human society. He is the author of such classic works as Discipline and Punish, The History of Sexuality and The Order of Things.
