Jonathon Simons explores the importance of the political in all areas of Foucault's work and life, including important material only recently made available and the implications of various revelations about his private life. Simons relates Foucault's work both to contemporary political thinkers such as Michael Walzer, Charles Taylor and Jurgen Habermas, and to those challenging conventional political categories, especially people who write on feminist and gay theory, such as Judith Butler.
Students of Foucault and of political and social theory, as well as those working in lesbian and gay theory, and feminist studies, will find this book essential.
Reviews / Votes
'Unquestionably the work of a first rate scholar who has pondered the issues raised by his subject with very commendable seriousness and concentration. In a field where clarity of expression and stylistic economy are not always common, it reads extremely well.' - N.J. Rengger, University of Bristol'A nuanced, richly textured account which is sympathetic to Foucault's overall agenda without being uncritical.' - Fred Dallmayr, University of Notre Dame

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
