Rezensionen

"Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates throughresearchers/faculty." (Choice, 1 August 2011)

"In sum, then, O'Leary and Falzon have brought together a goodand interesting set of essays that are well worth reading. Thisvolume will be of interest to all scholars who work with Foucault'stexts and might be recommended to advanced undergraduate students."(Notre Dame, 22 March 2011)

"As a whole the volume on Foucault's relation to philosophy is afascinating contribution to the vast literature on his work.Although the papers within the volume were somewhat short, theyopen up many divergent areas of potential research for the future."(Metapsychology Online, January 2011)"Was it important that Michel Foucault thought philosophically?That among his major partners in reflection were Kant, Hegel,Nietzsche, Heidegger and Habermas? That Foucault's experiments inthought intersected with analyses of subjectivity, theories ofknowledge, philosophies of experience? The outstandingcontributions to this volume respond to these questions by leadingits readers into an excavation of Foucault's philosophicalcuriosity and his unfinished road map to the good life."
