Foucault's philosophical development is first traced through essays that place him in the context of his relationship to ancient philosophy, phenomenology, Marxism, structuralism; and to figures such as Kant, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Habermas, and others. Further essays then evaluate the major contribution of Foucault's thought to some of the central philosophical problems of our time, including freedom, knowledge, subjectivity, ethics, power, and the nature of philosophy itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the 25th anniversary of Foucault's death upon us, \u003ci\u003eFoucault and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e offers a timely and invaluable scholarly reconsideration of the philosophical development and legacy of a controversial and iconic figure of 20th-century thought.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"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 in thought intersected with analyses of subjectivity, theories of knowledge, philosophies of experience? The outstanding contributions to this volume respond to these questions by leading its readers into an excavation of Foucault's philosophical curiosity and his unfinished road map to the good life.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eJames Bernauer\u003c\/b\u003e, Boston College","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989236465893,"sku":"NP9781405189606","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405189606.jpg?v=1761783321","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/foucault-and-philosophy-isbn-9781405189606","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
