This volume presents a systematic and comprehensive overview of Foucault's major themes and texts, from his early work on madness through his history of sexuality, and relates his work to significant contemporary movements such as critical theory and feminism. The volume includes the first English translation of George Canguilhem's much cited essay on The Order of Things, and a pseudonymous dictionary entry on Foucault that was probably written by Foucault himself shortly before his death.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cambridge Companion to Foucault
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2009

Excellent series of articles on the major work of Foucault--It includes two great articles on the focus of his last works relative to --Ethics of the Self--vis-a-vis the Care of the Self. Interestingly the previous edition also included a breakdown of Ethics from a Foucault perspective--the three articles are very much a great sequence on these concepts--they should all be included on the next edition since the evolution of his thought is evident in their progression. A great research asset on this major figure of social, political and philosophic thought in the twentieth century.
