Understanding Foucault

Danaher, Geoff

Understanding Foucault - London : Sage Publications, 2000. - xv, 172 p. ; 23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 165-168) and index.

Derided and disregarded by many of his contemporaries, Michel Foucault is now regarded as probably the most influential thinker of the twentieth century, his work is studied across the humanities and social sciences.

Reading Foucault, however, can be a challenge, as can writing about him, but in Understanding Foucault, the authors offer an entertaining and informative introduction to his thinking. They cover all the issues Foucault dealt with, including power, knowledge, subjectivity and sexuality and discuss the development of his analysis throughout his work.
