Böcker av Mark G. E. Kelly

This book surveys Michel Foucault's thought in the context of his life and times, utilising the latest primary and secondary materials to explain the political implications of each phase of his work and the relationships between each phase. It also illustrates how his thought has been used in the political sphere and examines the importance of his work for politics today.

In the first volume of his "History of Sexuality, The Will to Knowledge", Foucault weaves together the most influential theoretical account of sexuality since Freud. The author unpacks the intricacies of Foucault's dense and sometimes confusing exposition in a straightforward way, putting it in its historical and theoretical context.
