Summary:

"Michel Foucault is one of the most influential yet controversial thinkers of the twentieth century and has arguably had a transformative effect on the study of the humanities and social sciences. His engagement with topics such as truth, power and language continues to exert significant influence on a huge range of subjects, from sociology, philosophy and anthropology to history, politics, law, literature, art, religion and many others. However, due to the astonishingly wide range of themes Foucault addresses and his refusal to be labelled, his work is rarely discussed systematically from a philosophical standpoint. The Foucauldian Mind is an outstanding survey and assessment of Foucault's thought, demonstrating its coherence, insight, and continuing relevance to current debates in a wide range of fields within philosophy and beyond. Organised into four clear parts, over forty chapters by an international roster of contributors address the following topics and more: the formation of Foucault's thought and the background to his most important writings, from History of Madness and The Birth of the Clinic to the Governmentality Lectures and the History of Sexuality Foucault's theoretical and methodological engagement, including phenomenology, structuralism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, critical theory, pragmatism and feminism Foucault and epistemology and metaphysics Foucault and ethics, political philosophy and law gender and race science, religion and medicine the legacy of Foucault's thought, including animal studies, biopolitics, historical epistemology and migration. With its comprehensive approach to Foucault's thought and its coverage of both perennial and new Foucauldian topics, The Foucauldian Mind is a superb resource for anyone studying Foucault's thought from a broadly philosophical standpoint"-- Provided by publisher.
