Arac, Jonathan, Ed. After Foucault: Humanistic Knowledge, Postmodern Challenges. New Brunswick and London: Rutgers University Press, 1988.
"The essays in this collection assess the impact of Michel Foucault's work on the conditions of disciplinary knowledge in humanistic studies and speculate on the directions we might take from his work. They cover a wide range of fundamental concerns from philosophy of knowledge in both theoretical and applied forms, to philology, history, psychoanalysis, feminism, and politics. Whether the contributors would be counted as being 'for' or 'against' Foucault, all of them show that their understanding has been altered by the challenges his work has posed. In some cases Foucault's thought is severely criticized as an obstacle to effective understanding or action; in others, his thought offers a resource through which received opinion can be displaced.
"Much has been published on Foucault, but this collection stands out from the others. The essays are both less expository and less general; the distinguished contributors move beyond particulars, and, as a group, shift discussion into areas Foucault himself did not address. The result is a lively debate and further probing beyond disciplinary boundaries. After Foucault will interest political theorists, feminists, and scholars of history, philosophy, and literature." from the back cover

"Michel Foucault Philosopher brings together original essays by an outstanding group of international scholars who present an array of critical readings of Foucault's work and its impact on western thought. The book stems from the most important colloquium on Foucault to take place (Paris, January 1988) since his death in 1984.
"The volume aims to compass the whole range of Foucault's contribution, while looking to the central topics which give his work its uniqueness. A special effort is made to come to terms with the major shifts in Foucault's thought in the last two volumes of the History of Sexuality and this to account for the whole itinerary his work has followed -- this volume treats such topics as Foucault's place in the history of philosophy; including his relationship to psychoanalysis and Marxism; style and discourse; power and government; ethics and the constitution of the self; and history and rationality.

Barry, Andrew, Thomas Osborne, and Nikolas Rose, Eds. Foucault and Political Reason: Liberalism, Neo-Liberalism, and Rationalities of Government. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996.
"Despite the enormous influence of Michel Foucault in gender studies, social theory, and cultural studies, his work has been relatively neglected in the study of politics. Although he never published a book on the state, in the late 1970s Foucault examined the technologies of power used to regulate a society and the ingenious recasting of power and agency that he saw as both consequence and condition of their operation.
"These twelve essays provide a critical introduction to Foucault's work on politics, exploring its relevance to past and current thinking about liberal and neo-liberal forms of government. Moving away from the great texts of liberal political philosophy, this book looks closely at the technical means with which the ideals of liberal political rationalities have been put into practice in such areas as schools, welfare, and the insurance industry.

"Within feminism incest has often been subsumed under a discussion of sexual violence and abuse. Yet, important as this is, there has been little account of how feminist work itself relates to other ways of talking about and understanding incest. In Interrogating Incest Vikki Bell focuses on the issue of incest and its place in sociological theory, feminist theory and criminal law. By examining incest from a critical Foucauldian framework she considers how feminist discourse on incest itself fits into existing ways of talking about sex. Closely surveying the historical background to incest legislation and the theoretical issues involve, Vikki Bell delineates their practical implications and shows what uncomfortable questions and important dilemmas are raised by the criminalisation of incest." from the Routledge on-line catalog

"Is contemporary political thought caught in a trap? Hegel discovered an impasse between 'Faith' and 'Enlightenment' which only his dialectic could transcend. With the failure of his solution in the background, Unthinking Faith and Enlightenment explores the boundaries of contemporary debates, one side exaggerates the possibility of harmony between humans and the natural and social worlds, while the other insists upon the possibility of human mastery.
"Drawing critically upon the work of Michel Foucault and Charles Taylor, the work attempts to unthink these particular terms of debate between Faith on the one hand and Enlightenment on the other. It is an orientation to nature and politics that acknowledges 'otherness' but resists the Promethean urge." from the dust jacket

"No philosophical thinker possessed the late Michel Foucault's (1926-1984) acute ability to discover and describe the confinements that imprison contemporary life and thought. His critics often accused Foucault not only of identifying prisons but of celebrating them, of creating such a sense of entrapment within systems of ideas and practices that little scope was left for personal freedom and cultural change. Michel Foucault's Force of Flight argues against this common view of Foucault. This study offers a comprehensive chronological reading of Foucault's published, and many unpublished, writings and claims that Foucault's achievement was to have fashioned a series of inquiries that makes it possible to question the activity of thought itself as an ethical practice. Foucault appreciated that the options for our current thought and action had become hostages to our modern knowledges. Bernauer shows that, for Foucault, a successful political challenge to those knowledges demanded a new moral relationship to them, a relationship that is founded upon his ethics of thought." from the back cover

Bernauer, James, and David Rasmussen, Eds. The Final Foucault. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1988.
"Michel Foucault left a rich legacy of ideas and approaches, many of which still await exposition and analysis. The Final Foucault is devoted to his last published (and some as yet unpublished) work and includes a translation of one of his last interview, a comprehensive bibliography of his publications, and a biographical chrnology.
"Foucault was still working on his history of sexuality when he died in 1984, but his main concern remained, as throughout his career, a deeper understanding of the nature of truth. His final set of lecture at the College de France, described here by Thomas Flynn, focused on the concept of truth-telling as a moral virture in the ancient world.
"In the other essays, Karlis Racevskis examines the questions of identity at the core of Foucault's work; Garth Gillian takes up the problems inherent in any attempt to characterize Foucault's philosophy; James Bernauer explores the ethical basis of Foucault's philosopy and offers a context for understanding his late interest in the Christian experience; and Diane Rubenstein offers a Lacanian interpretation of the last work."

"Is curriculum change possible? Procedures of Power and Curriculum Change provides a provocative new response to this question. Through a case study of a recent major attempt to change high school science, this work reveals the continuing barrenness of modernistic explanations of curriculum change. Revisiting this case study in the light of Foucault's concept of power suggests that curriculum change is not an issue of correct technique but a journey of being. An imaginative waving of narratives, metaphors and allegory invites readers to join this journey by entering into a postmodern conversation about the possibilitites for curriculum change." from the Peter Lang on-line catalog

Boyne, Roy. Foucault and Derrida: The Other Side of Reason. London and New York: Routledge, 1990.
"The writings of Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida pose a serious challenge to the old established, but now seriously compromised forms of thought. In this compelling book, Roy Boyne explains the very significant advances for which they have been responsible, their general importance for the human sciences, and the forms of hope that they offer for an age often characterized by scepticism, cynicism and reaction. The focus of the book is the dispute between Foucault and Derrida on the nature of reason, madness and 'otherness'. The range of issues covered includes the birth of the prison, problems of textual interpretation, the nature of the self and contemporary movements such as socialism, feminism and anti-racialism. Roy Boyne argues that whilst the two thinkers chose very different paths, they were in fact rather surprisingly to converge upon the common ground of power and ethics. from the Routledge online catalog

"Abstract: It is argued that the concept of discursive formation presented by Foucault provides the means whereby conventional treatments of 'discourse' can be criticized. These would include historical, linguistic and epistemological forms of investigation. But it is also argued that Foucault does not sufficiently displace linguistic categories. As a result his account of the theoretical probems of 'conditions of existence' of discourses cannot be sustained."

"Based on Michel Foucault's 1978 and 1979 lectures at the College de Foucault on governmental rationalities and his 1977 interview regarding his work on imprisonment, this volume is the long-awaited sequel to Power/Knowledge. In these lectures, Foucault examines the art or activity of government both in its present form and within a historical perspective, as well as the different ways governmentality has been made thinkable and practicable.
"Foucault's thoughts on political discourse and governmentality are supplemented by the essays of internationally renowned scholars. United by the common influence of Foucault's approach, they explore the many modern manifestations of government, the reason of state, police, liberalism, security, social economy, insurance, solidarity, welfare, risk management, and more. The central theme is that the object and the activity of government are not instinctive and natural things, but things that have been invented and learned.
The Foucault Effect analyzes the thought behind practices of government and argues that criticism represents a true force for change in attitudes and actions, and that extending the limits of some practices allows the invention of others. This unique and extraordinarily useful collection of articles and primary materials will open the way for a whole new set of discussions of the work of Michel Foucault as well as the status of liberalism, social policy, and insurance." from the back cover

"In contemporary thought the death of the author has assumed a significance comparable only to the death of God in the nineteenth century, yet no clear statement of what is meant by this notion has emerged in critical theory. In this study Sean Burke provides not only the first detailed explanation of anti-authorialism, but also shows how -- even taken on its own terms -- the attempt to abolish the author is fundamentally misguided and philosophically untenable.
"Burke makes clear his admiration for the theorists he reads, but argues that authorship is a blind spot in their work. Rather than developing the customjary humanist defence, Burke out-theorizes theory through rigorous readings which demonstrate that the concept of the author remained profoundly active even as its disappearance was being articulated. In so doing, he effectively deconstructs deconstruction and proposes a revitalised conception of authorship for the modern era." from the back cover of the paperback edition

"The issue of the institution is not addressed systematically anywhere in the literature on Foucault, although it is everywhere to be found in Foucault's writings. Foucault and the Critique of Institutions not only interprets the work of Foucault but also applies it to the question of the institution. Foucault is a master at analyzing the web of social relations ("power") that effectively shapes ("normalizes") the modern individual. While these social relations are smaller and finer than institutions, institutions are, by sustained account to follow up the implications of Foucault's provocative theses about power for the analysis of institutions.
"Foucault and the Critique of Institutions offers a set of preliminary essays that raises basic questions about the theoretical character of Foucault's thought and then several groups of other essays that go on to take up the practical issues raised by his work. Joseph Margolis and Jitendra Mohanty address one of the most complex problems posed by Foucault's texts: his status as a philosopher. Mark Poster explores the problem of the 'self' in Foucault, while Judith Butler focuses her searching investigation of the self on its gendered nature. Joseph Rouse examines the functioning of the natural sciences within the institutional setting of the university and the academic profession, while Chuck Dyke and Mary Schmelzer present vigourous critiques of the normalizing power of the university. Robert Moore and Mark Yount offer original studies of the implications of Foucault's work for the workplace, labor law, and affirmative action. Finally, John Caputo studies Foucault's famous history of madness and raises the question of the possibility of exercising a 'healling' and not merely a 'normalizing' power in the mental hospital and the church." from the back cover

The prominence of this conception of autonomy has contributed to the exploitation, by liberal political practice, of discourses of expertise which work to heteronomize citizen's choices and actions. A pluralistic conception of autonomy is developed, based on insights of Stanley Benn, which may provide a bulwark against he exploitation of citizens by experts. Some conditions for the protection of pluralistic autonomy are identified."

"Since the completion of The History of Madness in 1960, Michel Foucault has been an important figure in the Western intellectual traditon. He was instrumental in making institutions -- in both the literal and the abstract sense -- the objects of scholarly research. The significance of Foucault's work has generated many studies, but this analysis by Gilles Deleuze is the first by a major philosopher working within the same poststructuralist tradition. Published in France in 1986 and now in its first English translation, Deleuze's work is distinguished by its focus on the conceptual underpinnings of Foucault's extensive writings." from the back cover

"Abstract: The first part of the paper gives an account of some of the intellectual and political background to the characteristic positions of the Nouvelle Philosophie, and details the presentation of these positions in the work of Andre Glucksmann. The important influence of Foucault on the Nouvelle Philosophie is then discussed. Foucault's interpretation of his own earlier work and his present manner of posing the question of power are critically analysed, and found to be defective in a way which allow room for the exploitation of his results by the Nouvelle Philosophie. This partial convergence is illustrated by a comparison between Lardreau and Jambet's L'Ange and Foucault's recent discussion of sexuality. The paper concludes with a brief location of the Nouvelle Philosophie in the context of intellectual developments outside France."

"Among the hundreds of books and articles on Foucault, only a handful make genuinely rewarding reading. Thomas L. Dumm's Michel Foucault and the Politics of Freedom is a welcome addition to that handful, for it treats Foucault with the subtlety his thought deserves and demands but almost never receives. As Dumm shows, appreciating Foucault's accomplishments as a political theorist requires sustained attention to the difficult balancing act to which he devoted himself: on the one hand Foucault's analyses, cool and impassioned at once, of the macabre inventiveness of power in our era, on the other, his likewise passionate and realistic imagination and appraisal of the resources our era offers for freedom, emancipation, liberation. Most interpretations of Foucault suffer from emphasizing one of these twinned concerns at the expense of the other. Dumm, by masterfully giving each its due, takes the measure of Foucault's original, provocative, unforgettable understanding of power and freedom. ... This is a book that will enlighten those coming to Foucault for the first time, and provoke many who think they know his work well to read it again." Frederick M. Dolan from the back cover

"The writings of the French historian, literary critic and philosopher Michel Foucault have been of immense importance to developments in literary studies since the late 1970s. He, more than anyone, stands behind the 'new historicism' and 'cultural materialism' that currently dominate international literary studies. Simon During provides a detailed introduction to the whole body of Foucault's work, with a particular emphasis on his literary theory. His study takes in Foucault's early studies of 'transgressive' writing from Sade and Artaud to the French 'new novelists' of the 1960s, and his later concern with the genealogy of the author/intellectual, writing and theorizing within specific, historical mechanisms of social control and production. Foucault and Literature offers a critique of Foucault and of the literary studies that have been influenced by him, and goes on to develop new methods of post-Foucauldian literary/cultural analysis." from the back cover

"Abstract: This paper has a dual object:
"First, utilizing Foucault's definition of 'disciplinary power', the paper demonstrates the disciplinary nature of China's reform through labour (laogai) system. It is suggested that laogai is an extension, deepening and modification of certain nineteenth-century Western utilitarian penal themes designed to 'reform the criminal mind' and produce 'obedient subjects'.
"Second, having established the disciplinary nature of the laogai project, the paper then goes on to examine the (neo-Foucauldian) 'disciplinary dispersal thesis'. This thesis suggests a gradual spread of carceral technologies which led to the formation of a disciplinary society . This paper suggest that there are a number of theoretical problems in this thesis, not the least of which is its rather ambiguous relationship to the work of Foucault."

Eribon, Didier. Michel Foucault. Translated by Betsy Wing. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1991.
"At the time of his death in 1984, at the age of fifty-eight, Michel Foucault was widely regarded as one of the most powerful minds of this century. Hailed by distinguished historians and lionized on his frequent visits to America, he continues to provoke lively debate. The nature and merits of his accomplishments remain tangled in controversy. Rejecting traditional liberal and Marxist 'dreams of solidarity,' Foucault became the very model of the modern intellectual, replacing Sartre as the figure of the eminent Parisian and cosmopolitan master thinker.
"Foucault himself discouraged biographical questions, claiming that he was 'not at all interesting.' Didier Eribon's captivating account overthrows that assertion. As a journalist well acquainted with Foucault for years before his death Foucault for years before his death, Eribon was particularly well placed to conduct the dozens of interviews which are the cornerstone of this book. He has drawn upon eyewitness accounts by Foucault's closest associates from all phases of his life -- his mother, his schoolteachers, his classmates, his friends and enemies in academic life, and his celebrated companions in political activism, including Simone Signoret and Yves Montand, Eribon has methodically retraced the footsteps of his peripatetic subject, from France to Sweden to Poland to Germany to Tunisia to Brazil to Japan to the United States. The result is a concise, crisply readable, meticulously documented narrative that debunks the many myths and rumors surrounding the brilliant philosopher -- and forces us to consider seriously the idea that all his books are indeed, just as Foucault said near the end of his life, 'fragments of an autobiography.'
"Who was this man, Michel Foucault? In the late 1950s Foucault emerged as a budding young cultural attache, friendly with Gaullist diplomats. By the mid-1960s he appeared as one of the avatars of structuralism, positioning himself as a new star in the fashionable world of French thought. A few months after the May 1968 student revolt, with Gaullism apparently shaken, he emerged as an ultra-leftist and a fellow traveler of Maoists. Yet during this same period, Eribon shows, he was quietly and adroitly campaigning for a chair in the College de France -- the very pinnacle of the French academic sytem.
"This book does more than follow the career of one extraordinary intellectual. It reconstructs the cultural, political, and intellectual life of France from the postwar years to the present. It is the story of a man and his time." from the dust jacket

Falzon, Christopher. Foucault and Social Dialogue: Beyond Fragmentation. New York: Routledge, 1998.
"In the wake of the 'death of the subject', contemporary ethical and political debate has been polarised by seemingly intractable disputes over absolutism versus relativism, or foundationalism versus fragmentation. The legacy of Michel Foucault has played a crucial role in these debates and his work is itself often associated with a fragmentary, postmodern politics.
"Foucault and Social Dialogue: Beyond Fragmentation offers a fascinating way out of this impasse. With clarity and insight, Christopher Falzon shows that the proper alternative to foundationalism is not fragmentation but dialogue and that we must turn to Foucault for such inspiration. Through this dialogical reading of Foucault he provides a compelling introduction to the ethical and political importance of Foucault's work.
"Christopher Falzon also provides a rethinking of the important debate between Habermas and Foucault, and shows how Foucault effectively challenges Habermas' position. Throughout, clear links are established with contemporary debates in continental philosophy and the full significance of Foucault's ethical and political theory is assessed.

"There is a tendency to place Foucault squarely in the post-structuralist camp of his fellow French theoreticians Derrida, Lyotard, Deleuze, etc. While Foucault certainly shares the major concerns about language, meaning and the 'subject' with these other thinkers, there is still a profoundly 'political' message in Foucaullt's life and work that challenges the idea of him as simply another apolitical (or even neo-conservatism) post-structural, post-modern thinker.
"What Fink-Eitel has done is to present us with an image of Foucault that is somewhat closer to Jean-Paul Sartre than to Derrida. Fink-Eitel suggests that Foucault had come to reject the profoundly elitist nihilism of Nietzsche in favor of a radical, even anarchistic, politics of engagement whereby the 'intellectuals' would be responsible for providing the 'activists' with the necessary analysis to challenge the mechanisms of power." from the back cover

Flynn, Thomas R. Sartre, Foucault and Historical Reason, Vol. 1: Toward an Existentialist Theory of History. Chicago: University of Chicago, 1997.
"Sartre and Foucault were two of the most prominent and at times mutually antagonistic philosophical figures of the twentieth century. And nowhere are the antithetical natures of their existentialist and poststructuralist philosophies more apparent than in their disparate approaches to historical understanding."
"A history, thought Foucault, should be a kind of map, a comparative charting of structural transformations and displacements. But for Sartre, authentic historical understanding demanded a much more personal and committed narrative, a kind of interpretive diary of moral choices and risks compelled by critical necessity and an exacting reality. Sartre's history, a rational history of individual lives and their intrinsic social worlds, was in essence immersed in biography.
"In Volume One of this authoritative two-volume work, Thomas R. Flynn conducts a pivotal and comprehensive reconstruction of Sartrean historical theory, and provocatively anticipates the Foucauldian counterpoint to come in Volume Two." from the University of Chicago Press on-line catalog
"In this first of a two-volume study, the author reconstructs a Sartrean theory of history from the vast corpus of Sartre's writings, including hundreds of posthumously published pages and two unpublished manuscripts. Though the author's larger goal is to contrast the resultant philosophy with a poststructuralist 'mapping' of history in his second volume, the present work constitutes a free-standing text that examines the core of an existentialist theory. That theory turns on the threefold primacy (ontological, epistemic, and moral) of individual praxis in human history. As existentialist, the historian must capture the risk of choice and the pinch of the real in his or her account in order to 'comprehend the comprehension' of the historical agent in its existential situation. So Sartre's increasingly detailed existential 'psychoanalyses' of Baudelaire, Genet, himself, and others, culminating in his three-volume study of the life and times of Gustave Flaubert, The Family Idiot, should be seen as objective lessons in an existentialist theory of history
"If Sartre's project is imaginative (The Family Idiot being a sequel to his early The Psychology of Imagination), however, it is also moral. He is ever in search of the means to ascribe responsibility to historical agents for even the most 'impersonal' necessities an social systems. Sartre offers a social ontology that both fosters this transmission of responsibility and accounts for the unintended consequences of our intentional acts. In the latter case, he undertakes a close analysis of a boxing match as the key to the intelligibility of our history that is both violent and rife with dialectical necessities (the feints and jabs of counterfactuality). This is exemplified in a study of the 'venture' of Stalinism in the 1930s that sketches yet another existential psychoanalysis, this time of the dictator, whose idiosyncrasy cannot be separated from his dictatorship if a 'living history' is to be reconstituted. A properly existentialist theory of history, then , turns on the relationship between history and biography, though it is not simply another form of psychohistory.
"The author examines concomitant issues of 'committed history.' history as fact and as value, recorded history as poiesis, and the historian as dramaturge. In the concluding chapter he notes explicit criticisms leveled by each philosopher against the other and initiates his contrast with a brief survey of Foucauldian alternatives to Sartean concepts and methods. The aesthetic and ethical interests of each author, however, provide an initial basis on which to pursue the comparison." author's note in History and Theory, 37:2 (May 1998), 283-284.

"In 1930, just three years after the publication of Heidegger's monumental philosophical work, Being and Time, the Swiss psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger published the first essay in a new discipline he called 'existential analysis'. This essay, 'Dream and Existence,' offered a radical alternative to Freud's own Interpretation of Dreams. In 1954, Michel Foucault, the famous author of Madness and Civilization (1961), published his first work, 'Dream, Imagination, and Existence,' a lengthy introduction to Binswanger's pioneering essay in existential psychiatry.
"Foucault's early essay on dreams, which has long been out of print and difficult to obtain, even in France, appears here in English for the very first time. Dream and Existence also includes the definitive translation of Binswanger's groundbreaking article. Together, these two essays by Foucault and Binswanger present a strong case for the relevance of the existential approach to dreams and for viewing the world of the dreamer in a new, existential light." from the back cover

Abridged version of Folie et deraison, (1961).
"In recent years the question of madness and how to define it has become the center of a great deal of discussion. This is the question the distinguished French psychologist and philosopher Michel Foucault seeks to answer by studying madness from 1500 to 1800 -- from the Middle Ages when insanity was considered part of everyday life and fools and madmen walked the streets, to the point when these people began to be considered a threat, asylums were built for the first time, and a wall was erected between the insane and the rest of humanity." from the back cover of the paperback (1973)

Foucault, Michel. The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences. New York: Pantheon,and London: Tavistock, 1970.
"This book, by the author of Madness and Civilization, has been hailed as the most important French contribution to philosophy since Sartre. Its thesis is that 'man' has only quite recently emerged as an object of our knowledge: our present concept of man is the result of a mutation within our culture. Michel Foucault studies this mutation, from the seventeenth century onward, cutting across numerous disciplines, first with a study of the classical 'human sciences,' and then with an analysis of their nineteenth-century successors -- philology, biology, and political economy.
"The result is, indeed, an archaeology of the human sciences, ananalysis of their foundations, their substrata, a reflection on what makes them possible now: an archaeology of contemporary modes of thought. It is also a critical reflection, for the day may not be far off when conditions will change once again, 'man' will disappear, and a new mode of thought will come into being." from the back cover of the American paperback edition (1973)
"In the work that established him as the most important French thinker since Sartre, Michel Foucault offers startling evidence that 'man' -- man as a subject of scientific knowledge -- is at best a recent invention, the result of a fundamental mutation in our culture.
"With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into the seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and saw analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern sciences of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of meaning and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths." from the back cover of the American paperback edition (1994)

"Madness, sexuality, power, knowledge--are these facts of life or simply parts of speech? In a series of works of astonishing brilliance, historian Michel Foucault has excavated the hidden assumptions that govern the way we live and the way we think. The Archaeology of Knowledge begins at thelevel of 'things said' and moves quickly to illuminate the connections between knowledge, language, and action in a style at once profound and personal. A summing up of Foucault's own methodological assumptions, this book is also a first step toward a genealogy of the way we live now. Challenging, at times infuriating, it is an absolutely indispensable guide to one of the most innovative thinkers now writing." from the back cover of the Pantheon Books paperback edition (1972).

Foucault, Michel. The Birth of the Clinic: An Archaeology of Medical Perception. Translated by A. M. Sheridan-Smith. New York: Pantheon, and London: Tavistock, 1973.
"In the eighteenth century, medicine underwent a mutation. For the first time, medical knowledge took on a precision that had formerly belonged only to mathematics. The body became something that could be mapped. Disease became subject to new rules of classification. And doctors began to describe phenomena that for centuries had remained below the threshold of the visable and expressible.
"In The Birth of the Clinic the philosopher and intellectual historian who may be the true heir to Nietzsche charts this dramatic transformation of medical knowledge. As in his classic Madness and Civilization, Michel Foucault shows how much what we think of as pure science owes to social and cultural attitudes -- in this case, to the climate of the French Revolution. Brilliant, provocative, and omnivorously learned, his book sheds new light on the origins of our current notions of health and sickness, life and death." from the back cover

Foucault, Michel, Ed. I, Pierre Riviere, having slaughtered my mother, my sister, and my brother ...: A Case of Paracide in the 19th Century. Translated by Frank Jelinek. New York: Pantheon, 1975.
Originally published in France as Moi, Pierre Riviere ayant egorge ma mere, ma soeur et mon frere ... (Paris: Editions Gallimard, 1973). "This work is the outcome of a joint research project by a team engaged in a seminar at the College de France."
"I, Pierre Riviere ... is a shocking study of madness in the age of reason. The extraordinary story of a brutal crime in a small nineteenth-century French village is movingly and strikingly told in the first half of the book, through the actual documents of the case, and in the words of its participants and observers--witnesses, judges, doctors, lawyers, peasants. At the center of the tale is the memoir of the killer himself, one of the most haunting and beautiful expressions of the power of derangement to be found in Western writing.
"Yet, I, Pierre Riviere ... is far more than just an account of a gruesome murder, for Foucault and his associates use this case to illuminate the history of psychology and the history of crime. In the second half of the book they show how the doctors of the day contended with the judges and lawyers and among themselves over the meaning of madness and sanity and the use of psychiatric concepts in the crimnal justice system. In the wings stand the lawyers of King Louis-Philippe, fearful of the association of patricide with regicide and the use of the newly emerging doctrine of 'extenuating circumstances.' In the background are the villagers of Aunay, struggling to defuse the terror of a crime committed in their midst. And always at the center is Pierre, a peasant, whose eloquent memoir is to some a proof of rationality (and thus grounds for condemning him to death) and to others a sign of madness (and therefore grounds for shutting him up for life). I, Pierre Riviere ... is a brilliant, highly readable, and gripping exploration of the roots of our contemporary views of madness, justice, and crime."

Foucault, Michel. This is Not a Pipe. Translated and edited by James Harkness. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1983.
A translation of Ceci n'est pas une pipe (Montpellier: Editions fata morgana, 1973).
"What does it mean to write 'This is not a pipe' across a bluntly literal painting of a pipe? Rene Magritte's famous canvas provides the starting point for a delightful homage by the French philosopher-historian Michel Foucault. Much better known for his incisive and mordant explorations of power and social exclusion, Foucault here assumes a more playful stance. By exploring the nuances and ambiguities of Magritte's visual critique of language, he finds the painter less removed than previously thought from the pioneers of modern abstraction--'confronting them and within a common system, a figure at once opposed and complementary.'
"Foucault's brief but extraordinarily rich essay offers a startling, highly provocative view of a painter whose influence and popularity contine to grow unchecked. This Is Not a Pipe also throws a new, piquantly dancing light on Foucault himself." from the back cover of the paperback edition

Foucault, Michel. Power/Knowledge: Selected Interviews and Other Writings, 1972-1977. Colin Gordon, Ed. New York: Pantheon, 1980.
"Michel Foucault has become famous for a series of books that have permanently altered our understanding of many institutions of Western society. He analyzed mental institutions in the remarkable Madness and Civilization; hospitals in The Birth of the Clinic; prisons in Discipline and Punish; and schools and families in The History of Sexuality. But the general reader as well as the specialist is apt to miss the consistent purposes that lie behind these difficult individual studies, thus losing sight of the broad social vision and political aims that unify them.
"Now in this superb set of essays and interviews, Foucault provides a much-needed guide to Foucault. These pieces, ranging over the entire spectum of his concerns, enable Foucault, in his most intimate and accessible voice, to interpret the conclusions of his research in each area and to demonstrate the contribution of each to the magnificent--and terrifying--portrait of society that he is patiently compiling.
"For, as Foucault shows, what he has always been describing is the nature of power in society; not the conventional treatment of power that concentrates on powerful individuals and repressive institutions, but the much more pervasive and insidious mechanisms by which power 'reaches into the very grain of individuals, touches their bodies and inserts itself into their actions and attitudes, their discourses, learning processes and everyday lives.'"
"Foucault's investigations of prisons, schools, barracks, hospitals, factories, cities, lodgings, families, and other organinized forms of social life are each a segment of one of the most astonishing intellectual enterprises of all time--and, as this book proves, one which possesses profound implications for understanding the social control of our bodies and our minds." from the back cover of the Pantheon Books paperback edition (1980)

Foucault, Michel. The Foucault Reader. Paul Rabinow, Ed. New York: Pantheon, 1984.
"Michel Foucault was one of the most influential thinkers in the contemporary world, someone whose work has affected the teaching of half a dozen disciplines ranging from literary criticism to the history of criminology. But of his many books, not one offers a satisfactory introduction to the entire complex body of his work. The Foucault Reader was commissioned precisely to serve that purpose.
"The Reader contains selections from each area of Foucault's work as well as a wealth of previously unpublished writings, including important material of previously unpublished writings, including important material written especially for this volume, the preface to the long-awaited second volume of The History of Sexuality, and interviews with Foucault himself, in the course of which he discussed his philosophy at first hand and with unprecedented candor.
"The philosophy comprises an astonishing intellectual enterprise: a minute and ongoing investigation of the nature of power in society, schools, hospitals, factories, homes, families, and other forms of organized society are brought together in The Foucault Reader to create an overview of this theme and of the broad social and political vision that underlies it." from the back cover of the paperback edition

Foucault, Michel. The Use of Pleasure: The History of Sexuality, Vol. 2. Translated by Robert Hurley. New York: Random House, 1985.
Originally published in French as L'Usage des plaisirs (Paris: Editions Gallimard, 1984).
"In this, the sequel to The History of Sexuality, Volume I: An Introduction, the brilliantly original French thinker who died in 1984 gives an analysis of how the ancient Greeks perceived sexuality. Forthcoming are volumes III and IV of The History of Sexuality, concerned, respectively, with the later Greeks and Romans and with the early Christians.
"Throughout The Use of Pleasure Foucault analyzes an irresistable array of ancient Greek texts on eroticism as he tries to answer basic questions: How in the West did sexual experience become a moral issue? And why were other appetites of the body, such as hunger, and collective concerns, such as civic duty, not subjected to the numberless rules and regulations and judgments that have defined, if not confined, sexual behavior?" from the back cover of the Vintage Books paperback edition (1986)
