Description
Jacques Bidet's Foucault with Marx is a thought-provoking exploration of two influential thinkers' critiques of capitalist modernity. Bidet examines the intersection of Marxist and Foucauldian ideas, highlighting key differences in their perspectives on capital and power. Marx views the relationship between capital and the market as crucial, while Foucault focuses on the organizational aspects of capital. Bidet identifies these two sides - 'market' and 'organization' - as leading to distinct forms of social conflict. He argues that these conflicts arise from opposing struggles: against exploitation and austerity, and against discipline, control of bodies, and prisons. By uniting these two perspectives, Bidet seeks to bridge the gap between traditional left-wing thinking and contemporary social movements.
