For close to half a century, the innovative thought of French philosopher and social critic Michel Foucault has exercised an enormous influence across a wide range of disciplines, and continues to be widely debated in intellectual circles. This book is the most extensive and up-to-date anthology of explorations of his work currently available. Featuring essays from a wide range of established and emerging Foucault scholars, chapters address various thematic aspects of his major works, including his recently published courses at the Collège de France. Additional essays consider his writings on such topics as knowledge and critique, power and government, sex and gender, and ethics and modernity, as well as on religion, race, and the environment. Also featured is the first full translation of Daniel Defert's Chronology of Foucault's life and works from Dits et écrits, along with a comprehensive bibliography of the philosopher's shorter works in English, cross-referenced to the standard French edition. A Companion to Foucault sheds important new light on one of the major twentieth-century figures in the world of ideas. --from inside jacket.

Each volume of this series of companions to major philosophers contains specially commissioned essays by an international team of scholars, together with a substantial bibliography, and will serve as a reference work for students and non-specialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimidation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. Michel Foucault, one of the most important of contemporary French thinkers, exerted a profound influence on philosophy, history, and social theory. Foucault attempted to reveal the historical contingency of ideas that present themselves as necessary truths. He carried out this project in a series of original and strikingly controversial studies on the origins of modern medical and social scientific disciplines. These studies have raised fundamental philosophical questions about the nature of knowledge and its relation to power structures that have become major topics of discussion throughout the humanities and social sciences.
