In this collection of 13 essays, which includes five new pieces for this edition, contributors assess the work of Foucault and its continuing influence in a range of disciplines far beyond philosophy. Gutting (philosophy, U. of Notre Dame) provides an able introduction to Foucault's basic themes and tropes, with the essays following addressing such topics as Foucault's approach to history and hisThe History of Madness , an assessment of Foucault's thought about the "exhaustion of thecogito ," a summary of Foucault's thought on power and the exclusivity of knowledge, two pieces on ethics, including one on ethics as aesthetics and other on Foucault's interpretation of ethics in imagination, Foucault's interesting reactions to Heidegger, Nietzsche, Habermas, phenomenology, psychoanalysis and modernism and the interesting reactions of queer theorist and feminists to Foucault.
