Michel Foucault (1926–1984) was one of the most influential
philosophers of the twentieth century. He held a chair in the
history of systems of thought at the Collège de France and lectured
at universities throughout the world. The New Press has published
his books Aesthetics, Method, and Epistemology; Ethics; Power; The
Essential Foucault; and The Chomsky-Foucault Debate (with Noam
Chomsky). Foucault’s other books include Madness and Civilization,
Discipline and Punish, The Order of Things, and The History of
Sexuality.
James D. Faubion is a professor of anthropology at Rice University.
He is the author of The Shadows and Lights of Waco and Modern Greek
Lessons and the editor of Michel Foucault’s Aesthetics, Method, and
Epistemology and Power, both available from The New Press.
