The Political Philosophy of Michel Foucault

This book is the first to systematically reconstruct Michel Foucaults political and philosophical thought across his career. It argues, in the areas of epistemology, power, subjectivity, resistance, politics, and ethics, that Foucaults work represents the articulation of a consistent and progressive philosophical and political viewpoint. The work is thus an important intervention into the field of Foucault studies, where many continue to claim that Foucaults work is contradictory, nonsensical, or nihilistic.
