The Foucault reader

Michel Foucault's writing has shaped the teaching of half a dozen disciplines, ranging from literary criticism to the history of criminology. But none of his books offers a satisfactory introduction to the entire complex body of his work. The Foucault Reader precisely serves that purpose. It contains selections from each area of Foucault's thought, a wealth of previously unpublished writings, and an interview with Foucault during which he discusses his philosophy with unprecedented candor. This philosophy comprises an astonishing intellectual enterprise: a detailed and ongoing investigation of the nature of power in society. Foucault's analysis of power as it manifests itself in schools, hospitals, workplaces, neighborhoods, families, and other societal groupings gives us profound understanding of human interactions.
