Summary:

This volume offers an introduction to Foucault's political and ethical thought. The author questions the view that Foucault's work provides no firm basis for ethical or political thought. He argues that we should move away from such dead-end debates and turn to the model of social dialogue that is implicit in Foucault's work. He seeks to provide another view of the debate between Habermas and Foucault and shows how Foucault effectively challenges Habermas' position.
