Foucault, his thought, his character

Michel Foucault and Paul Veyne: the philosopher and the historian. Two major figures in the world of ideas, resisting all attempts at categorization. Two timeless thinkers who have long walked and fought together. In this short book Paul Veyne offers a fresh portrait of his friend and relaunches the debate about his ideas and legacy. 'Foucault is not who you think he is', writes Veyne; he stood neither on the left nor on the right and was frequently disowned by both. He was not so much a structuralist as a sceptic, an empiricist disciple of Montaigne, who never ceased in his work to reflect on.

  • "Le philosophe, collègue et ami de Michel Foucault, fait le portrait de ce dernier et présente les grands thèmes de sa pensée philosophique et politique."
  • "Paul Veyne, colleague and friend of Michel Foucault, presents an unexpected portrait of the man and his thought, and revives the debate over Foucault's convictions."
  • "Ami de Michel Foucault pendant plus de trente ans, Paul Veyne livre ici un portait amical et intime de l'homme et de sa pensée. On découvre un Foucault aux antipodes du penseur gauchiste et structuraliste souvent décrit: loin de partager les vastes espérances de Mai 68, il ne croyait pas à une politique révolutionnaire, comme y croyait un Sartre, et s'est conduit en réformiste qui entreprenait de corriger sur des points précis le monde social comme il va. Ce portrait philosophico-politique sans complaisance révèle un Foucault inattendu, un philosophe sceptique, un empiriste qu'il faut rapprocher de Montaigne."
