Klappentext A Companion to Foucault comprises a collection of essays from established and emerging scholars that represent the most extensive treatment of French philosopher Michel Foucault's works currently available.* Comprises a comprehensive collection of authors and topics, with both established and emerging scholars represented* Includes chapters that survey Foucault's major works and others that approach his work from a range of thematic angles* Engages extensively with Foucault's recently published lecture courses from the Collège de France* Contains the first translation of the extensive 'Chronology' of Foucault's life and works written by Foucault's life-partner Daniel Defert* Includes a bibliography of Foucault's shorter works in English, cross-referenced to the standard French edition Dits et Ecrits "This Companion will be most useful for an intermediate or advanced student of Foucault. Both the 'chronology' and the bibliography of English works of Foucault are required for any serious study of his work. And the fact that most of the authors in this book have written books on different aspects of Foucault's work means that it can be taken as a proxy for a survey into the current reception of his thought in the Anglophone world."

"Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers." (Choice, 1 November 2013)
 
"This Companion will be most useful for an intermediate or advanced student of Foucault. Both the 'chronology' and the bibliography of English works of Foucault are required for any serious study of his work. And the fact that most of the authors in this book have written books on different aspects of Foucault's work means that it can be taken as a proxy for a survey into the current reception of his thought in the Anglophone world."
