About The Book

SOCIETY MUST BE DEFENDED is a full transcript of the lectures given by Foucault at the College de France in 1975-76. The main theme of the lectures is the contention that war can be used to analyse power relations. Foucault contends that politics isa continuation of war by other means. Thus any constitutional theory of sovereignty and right is an attempt to refute the fact that power relations are based upon a relationship of conflict violence and domination. The book is coloured with historical examples drawn from the early modern period in both England and France with wonderful digressions into subjects as diverse as classical French tragedy and the gothic novel. About the Author Michel Foucalt (1926-1984) was one of the leading intellectuals of the twentieth century and the most prominent thinker in postwar France. Foucaults work influenced disciplines as diverse as history sociology philosophy sociology and literary criticism.
