Abstract

This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to, and overview of, the development of Foucault's thought and demonstrates its enduring significance on our understanding of how we have become what we are. The essays and articles are written by many of the most important of Foucault's interpreters and interlocutors and show the range of Foucault's influence as well as the subsequent debates over Foucault's own approaches and in relation to substantive areas of social philosophy and social science.
