Erittäin lyhyt johdatus Foucault'hen | Gary Gutting | Kieli: Tanska

Michel Foucault (1926-1984) on yksi 1900-luvun suurimmista filosofeista - ja kulttihahmoista. Hän vietti elämänsä muun muassa ottamalla huumeita, osallistumalla pariisilaiseen s&m-skeneen ja sekaantumalla politiikkaan ja yhteiskunnallisiin asioihin yrittäen ymmärtää identiteetin, tiedon ja vallan kaltaisten käsitteiden syvempiä kerroksia.

A very brief introduction to Foucault, this book recounts the philosopher's life and works and their significance for philosophy, the history of ideas, and other social sciences and humanities. The book is intended for students, pupils, and anyone else interested in Foucault and his research.
