Power

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 his concerns with human rights discrimination and exclusion. It also includes articles and open letters published directly in response to the issues of the time calling for reform in abortion asylum and the death penalty. All the pieces here bring a new sense of Foucaults huge influence on the politics of personal freedom.Edited by James D. FaubionTranslated by Robert Hurley and Others
