Foucault`s Genealogies

Foucault`s Geneaologies re-examines Foucault`s relation to the history of western philosophy from Aristotle to Derrida. Twelve essays by leading scholars show how Foucault links up with major figures from the ancient, modern, nineteenth century, and contemporary philosophical traditions, how he fits into these traditions, and how he breaks with them as one of the earliest theorists of the postmodern.
