Synopsis "The Foucault Reader: Michel Foucault (Penguin Modern Classics)"

'The most innovative and influential French thinker of the contemporary era' GuardianThis is the ideal introduction to one of the most significant and radical philosophers of the past century. It includes detailed excerpts from all of Foucault's major works, including Discipline and Punish and The History of Sexuality, as well as many of his most revealing interviews, covering subjects from madness to desire, art to the nature of truth. No other writer has made us think more about the structures of power and control in our society, both past and present.'Scarcely any philosopher working on the history of philosophy or historian working on the history of institutions, social science or sexuality can avoid confronting the challenge of Foucault's books' Michael IgnatieffEdited by Paul Rabinow

Michel Foucault (Poiters, 1926 – París, 1984), filósofo, historiador y sociólogo francés, fue profesor en numerosas universidades tanto francesas como internacionales. En 1970 la asamblea general de profesores del Collège de France le concedió la titularidad de la cátedra Historia de los sistemas de pensamiento, que ocupó hasta su muerte.
Hijo de un eminente cirujano de la zona de Vichy, Foucault no destacó en los estudios hasta llegar a la École Normale Supérieure, paso previo para acceder a la Universidad, donde cursó filosofía y psicología. No obstante acabó doctorándose y convirtiéndose en el autor más citado del mundo en el ámbito de humanidades de 2007, según The Times Higher Education Guide.
En 1966 publica Les Mots et les choses, uno de sus más importantes aportaciones al estructuralismo junto a Jacques Lacan, Claude Lévi-Strauss y Roland Barthes.
Michel Foucault es autor, entre otros libros, de Historia de la locura, Vigilar y castigar, Historia de la sexualidad —de la cual tan sólo concluyó 3 volúmenes—, Enfermedad mental y personalidad, Enfermedad mental y psicología, Discurso y verdad en la antigua Grecia, Obras esenciales y De lenguaje y literatura, los cinco últimos publicados por Paidós.
