Michel Foucault, Set 2: Rationality, Power and Subjectivity (Hardcover)

Without doubt, Michel Foucault was one of the towering intellectual presences of the 20th century, and his legacy is still very much in the making. However, as the different contributions in these three volumes demonstrate, Foucault's work has already had significant impact on a wide rane of intellectual endeavour, and no doubt his influence will continue to grow. His work on the organization of knowledge, sexuality, power, discipline, medicine, madness, identity and politics has left an indelible mark on our understanding of these matters. In recognition of Foucault's achievement Routledge have commissioned a second "Critical Assessment". The first set discussed the work of Michel Foucault on questions of method and politics, and the second examines Foucault's work in relation to the themes of rationality, power and subjectivity. Both sets serve as benchmark guides to his thought. "Michel Foucault II" is divided into five sections: history of forms of rationality; relations of power and knowledge; sexuality and subjectivity; Foucault as catalyst; and final reflections
