Derrida and Foucault - Philosophy, Politics, and Polemics

Derrida and Foucault offers a major contribution to the interpretation of these two highly influential
thinkers. By tracing the moments where Derrida and Foucault's arguments converge but also where they
deviate, this book fundamentally recasts our understanding not only of these two philosophers, but of the political more broadly.
