Beschreibung:
One of the most influential contemporary thinkers, Michel Foucault produced a complex body of work across a wide range of academic disciplines. Foucault and Philosophy presents a collection of thought provoking essays that explore Foucault's writings as a philosopher -- both in relation to philosophers who were important to him and in the context of a range of significant themes and areas of dispute in contemporary philosophy.
