Publisher Description
Politics, Philosophy, Culture contains a rich selection of interviews and other writings by the late Michel Foucault. Drawing upon his revolutionary concept of power as well as his critique of the institutions that organize social life, Foucault discusses literature, music, and the power of art while also examining concrete issues such as the Left in contemporary France, the social security system, the penal system, homosexuality, madness, and the Iranian Revolution.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
``A candid, unbuttoned Foucault'' praises rock music and admits how boring it was to write some of his books, says he hates France's social security system and glorifies Khomeini's fundamentalist revolution. ``By gathering the late Foucault's scattered interviews and a few lectures, this omnibus helps render his dense thoughts more accessible,'' observed PW.
