Practices and Thought in Michel Foucault's Philosophy - Kai Alhanen - Bog

While Michel Foucault¿s philosophy has been widely influential, it is difficult to grasp in its entirety. The premise of this book is that through the concept of practice a new kind of coherence can be perceived in his work.
The focus of the book is the role of practice in the three axes of Foucault¿s philosophy: knowledge, power and ethics. This provides a deeper understanding of his central philosophical question: ¿How have humans become objects of their own thought?¿
Practices and Thought in Michel Foucault¿s Philosophy offers a concise introduction to Foucault¿s main philosophical ideas. It also makes an original contribution to scholarly discussions of his key concepts and their development in his works.
