Description

Few philosophers have had as strong an influence on the way we think about power and knowledge as Michel Foucault (1926-1984). His work has influenced the teaching of any number of disciplines and remains critically important. This lucid and accessible volume is drawn from the complete collection of all of Foucault's courses, articles, and interviews, and brings his most important work to a new generation of readers.

Ethics (edited by Paul Rabinow) contains the summaries of Foucault's renowned courses at the Coll ge de France, paired with key writings and interviews on friendship, sexuality, and the care of the self and others.
