"This book is an insightful guide to understanding the work of Michel Foucault, a philosopher, historian, and political activist. It explores his groundbreaking ideas on the correlation between power and knowledge and how institutions have enforced practices of confinement, confession, and discipline. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the fields of philosophy, history, and politics, and for those who want to expand their knowledge on the concepts of madness, sexuality, and criminality."

Description

Michel Foucault's work was described at his death as 'the most important event of thought in our century'. As a philosopher, historian and political activist, he certainly left behind an enduring and influential body of work, but is this acclaim justified? "Introducing Foucault" places his work in its turbulent philosophical and political context, and critically explores his mission to expose the links between knowledge and power in the human sciences, their discourses and institutions. This book explains how Foucault overturned our assumptions about the experience and perception of madness, sexuality and criminality, and the often brutal social practices of confinement, confession and discipline. It also describes Foucault's engagement with psychiatry and clinical medicine, his political activism and the transgressive aspects of pleasure and desire that he promoted in his writing.
