Michel Foucaults Vorlesungen aus den Jahren 1972 und 1973 untersuchen die Beziehungen zwischen Recht und Wahrheit und wie beide sich verbunden haben, um zur Entstehung eines neuen Strafregimes beizutragen. Sie sollten der Vorbereitung von Foucaults wirkmächtigem Buch Überwachen und Strafen dienen, entfalten aber eine ganz eigene Dynamik, die über eine Genealogie des Gefängnissystems hinausgeht und die gesamte kapitalistische Gesellschaft in de...

Who since Weber, or perhaps even Hobbes, has done as much to show why power is such a profound, elusive and treacherous presence throughout our experience?' The Times Higher EducationThe third and final volume of the Essential Works of Foucault series, Power brings together his writings on the issues that he helped make the core agenda of Western political culture: medicine, prisons, psychiatry, government and sexuality, in particular showing ...

Three years before his death, Michel Foucault delivered a series of lectures at the Catholic University of Louvain that until recently remained almost unknown. These lectures-which focus on the role of avowal, or confession, in the determination of truth and justice-provide the missing link between Foucault's early work on madness, delinquency, and sexuality and his later explorations of subjectivity in Greek and Roman antiquity. Ranging broad...

Foucault must be reckoned with by humanists, social scientists, and political activists' The New York Times Book ReviewSociety Must Be Defended is Michel Foucault's devastating critique of the systems of power and control inherent in civilization.

The third English volume of Michel Foucault's Lectures at the Collège de France. "What characterizes the act of justice is not resort to a court and to judges, it is not the intervention of magistrates (even if they had to be simple mediators or arbitrators). What characterizes the juridical act, the process or the procedure in the broad sense, is the regulated development of a dispute. And the intervention of judges, their opinion or decision...

Bristles with provocative insights into the tangled liaisons of sex and self' Times Higher EducationIn the third volume of his acclaimed examination of sexuality in modern Western society, Foucault investigates the Golden Age of Rome to reveal a decisive break from the classical Greek version of sexual pleasure. Exploring the moral reflections of philosophers and physicians of the era, he identifies a growing anxiety over sexual activity and i...

A brilliant display of fireworks, attacking the widespread and banal notion that "in the beginning" sexual activity was guilt-free and delicious, being repressed and blighted only by the gloom of Victorianism' Spectator We talk about sex more and more, but are we more liberated? The first part of Michel Foucault's landmark account of our evolving attitudes in the west shows how the nineteenth century, far from suppressing sexuality, led to an ...

In the Middle Ages there were gaols and dungeons, but punishment was for the most part a spectacle. In this provocative work, Michel Foucault argues that the development of the Western system of prisons, police and legal hierarchies have merely shifted the focus of social control from our bodies to our souls.

Die Vorlesungen, die Michel Foucault in den Jahren 1979 und 1980 am Collège de France gehalten hat, haben in seinem Werk eine Scharnierfunktion. Nach der Untersuchung der politischen Wahrheitsregime, die im Zentrum der großen Vorlesungen zur Gouvernementalität standen, treten hier nun die ethischen Wahrheitsregime, also die Selbsttechnologien, ganz in den Fokus seiner Forschungen - von Sophokles' König Ödipus bis zum Urchristentum und dessen P...

These thirteen lectures on the 'punitive society, ' delivered at the Collège de France in the first three months of 1973, examine the way in which the relations between justice and truth that govern modern penal law were forged, and question what links them to the emergence of a new punitive regime that still dominates contemporary society.

Foucault must be reckoned with." -The New York Times Book ReviewPraise for Foucault's Lectures at the Collège de France Series"Ideas spark off nearly every page...The words may have been spoken in [the 1970s] but they seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday." -Bookforum"[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual codes and ask new questions...[He] gives d...

Supplizi capitali, deportazioni spietate, ovattati isolamenti. In questo corso, uno dei più importanti del suo insegnamento al Collège de France, Michel Foucault si interroga sul significato delle punizioni che l'Europa, nel corso dei secoli, ha predisposto per chi trasgrediva la legge e incorreva nelle sue sanzioni. Per la prima volta possiamo toccare con mano la documentazione da cui Foucault ricaverà le sue celebri analisi sul potere sovran...

Ciò che caratterizza l'atto di giustizia non è il ricorso a un tribunale e a dei giudici, non è l'intervento dei magistrati (anche quando si limitavano a essere dei mediatori o degli arbitri). A caratterizzare l'atto giuridico, il procedimento o la procedura in senso ampio, è lo sviluppo regolato di una controversia. E in questo sviluppo, l'intervento dei giudici, il loro parere o la loro decisione costituiscono sempre e soltanto un episodio. ...

Es ist eine Sensation und »ein postumes Wunder« (L'Express): Dreieinhalb Jahrzehnte nach dem Tod des Autors erscheint der vierte und letzte Band von Sexualität und Wahrheit - Michel Foucaults großangelegter Geschichte der Sexualität und Meilenstein philosophischer Forschung im 20. Jahrhundert. Die Geständnisse des Fleisches, von Foucault noch auf dem Sterbebett vollendet, schließt an die legendären Vorgängerbände an und zeugt einmal mehr von d...

Der Wille zum Wissen, die Sorge des Subjekts um sich selbst und die Selbsttechnologien schienen bisher erst im Spätwerk Michel Foucaults zentrale Themen zu sein. Umso überraschender ist die Entdeckung, dass bereits seine ersten Vorlesungen am Collège de France um diese Fragen kreisen. Sie zeigen schon Spuren der späteren Gedanken zu den Selbsttechnologien, während zugleich Motive der Archäologie des Wissens noch deutlich erkennbar sind, ebenso...
