Description: New. Michael Foucault was one of the most influential thinkers in the contemporary world, someone whose work has affected the teaching of half a dozen disciplines ranging from literary criticism to the history of criminology. But of his many books, not on... read more
"It's not that I dont' like Foucault..I'm just getting to know him and so far, I respect him immensely. I just think that some of these exerpts taken without context of the rest of the work isn't that useful. It's a great compilation for those who are familar with his works and want a one-stop shop. However, if you need to really delve into his works and get to know him for the first time, this isn't the book for you, in my opinion."
"Great book. Rabinow proposes in the introduction that Foucault has been a founder of discursivity, which seems to be more or less a way of analyzing phenomena and talking about reality. It's always easiest for me to think on Foucault in precisely these terms. All throughout the "radical" left, we find these talking heads that refuse the genealogical stakes of Foucault's mode of analysis. This is most clear in his debate with Chomsky, which is published elsewhere. Great essays are included in this reader on Nietzsche, the author, samplings from Foucault's other books, bio-power, and the repressive hypothesis."
"Here's why this book fails, in my opinion: In order to understand Foucault, you have to read complete works. Choosing a couple of pages here and a couple of pages there does not work. The editor of this book (Rabinow) chose sections from multiple books, but these sections (in my view) don't cohere to offer any broad sketch of Foucault's thinking. However, there are some stand-alone essays in this book that are fantastic (What is an Author? What is Enlightenment?) as well as a good introduction by the editor, but those few pages hardly justify spending money to purchase this book. I'd check it out from the library and photocopy those few pages."
