Kurzbeschreibung
Michel Foucault was one of the most influential thinkers in the contemporary world, someone whose work has affected the teaching of half a dozen disciplines ranging from literary criticism to the history of criminology. But of his many books, not one offers a satisfactory introduction to the entire complex body of his work. The Foucault Reader was commissioned precisely to serve that purpose.
The Reader contains selections from each area of Foucault's work as well as a wealth of previously unpublished writings, including important material written especially for this volume, the preface to the long-awaited second volume of The History of Sexuality, and interviews with Foucault himself, in the course of which he discussed his philosophy at first hand and with unprecedented candor.
This philosophy comprises an astonishing intellectual enterprise: a minute and ongoing investigation of the nature of power in society. Foucault's analyses of this power as it manifests itself in society, schools, hospitals, factories, homes, families, and other forms of organized society are brought together in The Foucault Reader to create an overview of this theme and of the broad social and political vision that underlies it.

Format:Taschenbuch
This is a good introductory book, not so good if you have (like myself) read a great deal of Foucault and have at least a solid grounding in some of his basic concepts.
Format:Taschenbuch
Having been introduced to Foucault the hard way, i.e. reading The Order of Things as an undergraduate nearly twenty years ago, the reader was simply a synopsis of his work. Still, for someone who has never read his work or has had difficulty understanding him, this book serves as a good introdcution. I do recommend it only for beginners; it's not something for those of us more familiar with his work.
Format:Taschenbuch
Being a reader, this is even a bit more difficult to understand than average Foucault books. However, it boils his philosphies down to one major point: truths are relative and because of this, establishing truths are excercises in power. Foucault makes a good argument and stands to be exactly right if indeed there are no absolutes.

All the Foucault you'll ever need....
Foucault has been well served by this editor. Rabinow can't do anything about the author's dry, humorless prose style, but he has at least wittled it down into digestible chunks. Lesen Sie weiter...

Nice Overview
If you're wondering about Foucault, this is a great book to pick up. Not all of the concepts make sense immediately, as it is a reader and Foucault is complicated, but it's still... Lesen Sie weiter...
