Michel Foucault is one of the most influential, and controversial, thinkers of the twentieth century. His work has had a transformative effect on the study of the humanities and social sciences. His engagement with topics such as truth, power, and language continuesto exert significant influence on a huge range of disciplines, from philosophy, sociology, and anthropology to history, politics, law, literary, religious, and gender studies, and many others. Yet, paradoxically, Foucault’s work is rarely discussed systematically withinphilosophy in the Anglophone world.The Foucauldian Mind is an outstanding exploration and assessment of Foucault’s thought, demonstrating its coherence, insight, and continuing relevance to current debates in a multiplicity of fields within philosophy, and beyond. Comprising over 40 chapters authoredby an international team of expert contributors, it addresses the following topics and more:• the formation of Foucault’s thought and his most important writings, from History of Madness and The Order of Things to Discipline and Punish, The History of Sexuality, and his later works on governmentality and the aesthetics of existence;• Foucault’s theoretical and methodological engagements, including with phenomenology, existentialism, structuralism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, critical theory, pragmatism, and feminism;• Foucault’s contributions to ethics, political philosophy, and law;• Foucault’s often misunderstood engagements with science, race, and gender;• the legacy of Foucault’s thought, including for environmental studies, biopolitics, migration studies, and philosophy of disability.With its comprehensive analysis of Foucault’s work and its original discussion of both traditional and new topics, The Foucauldian Mind is a superb resource for anyone studying Foucault’s thought from a broadly philosophical standpoint.
