Description

Few philosophers have garnered as much attention globally as Michel Foucault. But even within this wide reception, the attention given to his relationship to neo-liberalism has been noteworthy. The debate over this relationship to has given rise to a great deal of polemics and confusion. This volume addresses a broader audience that pushes beyond the polemic, by bringing together the leading figures in the field. It aims to provide scholars across a series of fields with a reliable guide into one of the most controversial subjects in recent continental thought. It argues that Foucault's importance for post-colonial, race, queer and feminist studies, among other areas and opens up his relationship to neo-liberalism to offer a broader picture of tensions brewing within the Left more generally.
