Description
Power, the third and final volume of the Essential Works of Michel Foucault series, brings together his writings on the core issues of Western political culture, including medicine, prisons, psychiatry, government and sexuality. This collection of essays and open letters showcases Foucault's concerns with human rights, discrimination and exclusion, and his call for reform in areas such as abortion, asylum and the death penalty.
Edited by James D. Faubion and translated by Robert Hurley and others, Power provides a new perspective on Foucault's huge influence on the politics of personal freedom. This volume is a valuable addition to the series, offering insights into the issues that shaped Foucault's work and continue to resonate today.
