Michel Foucault by Dianna Taylor

Michel Foucault by Dianna Taylor

Michel Foucault was one of the twentieth century's most influential and provocative thinkers. His work on freedom, subjectivity, and power is now central to thinking across an extraordinarily wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, history, education, psychology, politics, anthropology, sociology, and criminology. "Michel Foucault: Key Concepts" explores Foucault's central ideas, such as disciplinary power, biopower, bodies, spirituality, and practices of the self. Each essay focuses on a specific concept, analyzing its meaning and uses across Foucault's work, highlighting its connection to other concepts, and emphasizing its potential applications. Together, the chapters provide the main co-ordinates to map Foucault's work. But more than a guide to the work, "Michel Foucault: Key Concepts" introduces readers to Foucault's thinking, equipping them with a set of tools that can facilitate and enhance further study.

"Michel Foucault: Key Concepts is an excellent resource for anyone approaching Foucault's workIt offers authoritative and nuanced treatments that mark a new stage in the critical understanding and employment of Foucault's challenging thought." - Kevin Thompson, DePaul University, USA
