Foucault

Informationen zum Autor Robert Nola Klappentext Five eminent critics explore the validity of Foucault's ideas on such questions as the fit between power and knowledge and the tension between historicist and universalist claims.The very possibility of a critical stance is a recurring theme in all of Foucault's works, and the contributors vary in the ways that they relate to his key views on truth and reason in relation to power and government. Zusammenfassung The essays written for this book range over all of Foucault's work, but their main critical focus is upon objectivity, power and knowledge.
