Michel Foucault is recognized as one of the twentieth century’s
most influential thinkers, however the authors in this volume
contend that more use can be made of Foucault than has yet been
done and that some of the uses to which Foucault has so far been
put run the risk of and occasionally simply amount to misuse.
This interdisciplinary volume brings together a group of esteemed
scholars, recognized for their command of and insights into
Foucault’s oeuvre. They demonstrate the many respects in which
Foucault’s project of an ontology of the present remains vital and
continues to yield compelling insights and show that an ontology of
the present is restricted to no particular terrain, but instead
ranges widely and on paths that frequently intersect.
The essays in this much-needed new collection address the key
components of Foucault’s thought, ranging from his approach to
power, biopolitics and parrhesia to analysis of key texts such as
Folie et Déraison and Histoire de la
sexualité.
This collection will spark debate amongst students and scholars
alike and demonstrates that that every further encounter with
Foucault’s corpus is more likely than not to demand a revisiting of
interpretations already formulated, conclusions already drawn, uses
already devised.
Contributors include Didier Eribon, Eric Fassin, John Forrester,
Ian Hacking, Lynne Huffer, Colin Koopman, James Laidlaw, Laurence
Mc Falls, Mariella Pandolfi, Paul Rabinow and Cary Wolfe.
