Produktbeschreibung

A remarkably clear, concise, and comprehensive guide to one of Michel Foucault's most important and influential books. Kelly reconstructs Foucault's argument, situates it within its historical and intellectual context, and clarifies important matters of terminology and translation. An indispensable resource for students approaching Foucault's text for the first time. Professor Amy Allen, Dartmouth College A step-by-step guide to Foucault's most influential book In the first volume of his History of Sexuality, The Will to Knowledge, Foucault weaves together the most influential theoretical account of sexuality since Freud. Mark Kelly systematically unpacks the intricacies of Foucault's dense and sometimes confusing exposition, in a straightforward way, putting it in its historical and theoretical context. This is both a guide for the reader new to the text and one that offers new insights to those already familiar with Foucault's work. Mark G. E. Kelly is the author of The Political Philosophy of Michel Foucault (2009).
