Product Information
Few philosophers have had as significant an impact on contemporary thought as Michel Foucault. His complete uncollected writings, under the title Dits et écrits , were published in French in 1994; this was followed by a three-volume series from The New Press that brought the most important of these works-courses, articles, and personal letters, many of them translated into English for the first time-to American readers. Here, the renowned Foucault scholars Paul Rabinow and Nikolas Rose have collected the best pieces from the three-volume set into a one-volume anthology in which Foucault's dazzling intellect and gift for language are on full display. The Essential Foucault , which features a provocative introduction by Rabinow and Rose, is certain to become the standard text for all those interested in a comprehensive overview of Foucault's thought.Product Identifiers
