An introduction to the critical interpretation of the work of Michael Foucault.
"Gutting knows [Foucault's works] well. He summarizes them with clarity and precision and makes some valuable criticisms. The book is also exceptional in its treatment of the cultural context of the earlier Foucault." David Revill, The Times Literary Supplement "...Gary Gutting is the most likely to bring to historians of science a Foucault they will find comprehensible, if not uniformly congenial." Isis
