Description
Aesthetics, the second volume of Michel Foucault's collected works, explores the philosophy, literature, and art that shaped his approach to ethics and power. Foucault engages with key thinkers such as de Sade, Rousseau, Marx, Magritte, Nietzsche, Freud, and Wagner, offering insightful commentaries on their work.
He also examines the writings of avant-garde authors who challenge traditional notions of humanism, extending his theories on power relations and reflecting on the broader scope of his 'critical history of thought'. Edited by James D. Faubion and translated by Robert Hurley and others, this volume provides a unique insight into Foucault's intellectual development.
First published in 2020, this paperback edition brings together Foucault's most important writings on aesthetics, method, and epistemology, offering a valuable resource for scholars and students of philosophy and related fields.
