1.		Discipline & Punish: The Birth of the Prison from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: By the time that Michel Foucault published DISCIPLINE AND PUNISH in 1975, he had already made a reputation as the champion of the downtrodden. In his earlier pseudo-historian-fictional texts MADNESS AND CIVILIZATION (1961), THE BIRTH OF THE CLINIC (1963), THE ORDER OF THINGS (1966), and THE... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The History of Sexuality, Vol. 1: An Introduction from Vintage Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Michel Foucault has based his entire corpus of history on the premise that society has been waging a battle between those at the center of society who wield power and those who live at the periphery and lack it. In THE HISTORY OF SEXUALITY, VOL I, he does not present a history of sexuality so much... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences from Vintage Price: $10.20 Customer Review: More a curiosity and an exploration in the mental discipline of standing rigor up to total relativism. Read this classic if you're (a) interested in the roots of the nascent deconstruction movement (b) thick skinned enough not to be distracted by the author's biases. I read it out of a desire... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Birth of Biopolitics: Lectures at the College de France, 1978-1979 (Lectures at the College de France) from Palgrave Macmillan Price: $19.11 Customer Review: A book that was due to be translated in English and provides the first attempt of Foucault to cirscumscribe the neoliberal enterprise.

5.		Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason is one of those books that you are meant to have read in graduate school. It is also one of those books that I have read citations from, seen passages from, heard discussed, heard argued about and generally felt bad that I had... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Archaeology of Knowledge & The Discourse on Language from Pantheon Price: $12.37 Customer Review: Foucault is not a light read - you will spend several hours just trying to interpret this text. His wording is unusual and complicated, and sentences can run on for almost a paragraph. Sometimes you'll just want to tear your hair out. Nonetheless, this book is important. The theories Foucault... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The History of Sexuality, Vol. 2: The Use of Pleasure from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Foucault's continuation of his impressive History of Human Sexuality looks into the sexual mores and practices of the Ancient Greeks, and attempts to understand the development of sexuality as a moral problematic. Contrary to the conventional wisdom which posits a complete epistemic reversal from... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Power/Knowledge: Selected Interviews and Other Writings, 1972-1977 from Pantheon Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Excellent preliminary introduction to the thought of French philosopher Michel Foucault, who was situated at the forefront of French post-modernity and post-structuralism during the 1960's, grouped with other intellectuals such as Derrida, Lacan, Althusser, and Delueze. For Foucault, (as it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Foucault Reader from Pantheon Price: $11.53 Customer Review: The Foucault Reader edited by Paul Rainbow is a selection of writings from, and interviews with, Michael Foucault. Although I am far from a Foucault scholar the collection strikes me as a representative sample of his thought. The selections are primarily focused on the intersection of power and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Security, Territory, Population: Lectures at the College de France 1977--1978 from Picador Price: $12.24 Customer Review: I wish I had got around to reading this much sooner. "Security, Territory, Population" is one in a series of lectures Foucault delivered at the College de France. I started here to find out more about Foucault's development of the concept of government and was so impressed that I have come back to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		The History of Sexuality, Vol. 3: The Care of the Self from Vintage Price: $11.20 Customer Review: All Volumes Reviewed: Is this the work of Michel Foucault, the author of "Order of Things," "Discipline and Punish," and "Archeology of Knowledge?" Surely, this must be a hoax. Foucault is notoriously provocative, keenly insightful, and always virulent. So what happened here? Hardly much of a... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		"Society Must Be Defended": Lectures at the College de France, 1975-1976 (Lectures at the College de France) from Picador Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Readers of Foucault must read this entire lecture series rather than rely upon the previous three published lectures to appreciate the full message he conveys.

13.	[no image]	Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia from Penguin Classics Price: $14.96 Customer Review: While studying philosophy at university, I was fortunate enough to have read this book. Some years hence, I am now middle management at a Fortune 500 company (it's very strange to me), and have just recently re-read it. The ideas about egalitarian models of leadership in this book are almost solely... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The Chomsky-Foucault Debate: On Human Nature from New Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Regarding the so-called "power conspiracy" theories--which Chomsky has refuted several times, both in print and in lectures--proponents of those theories argue not, e.g., that there are meetings between the Board of Directors of Exxon-Mobil and their major stockholders--of which there... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Birth of the Clinic, The: An Archaeology of Medical Perception from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Birth of the Clinic is a partner to Discipline and Punish: Birth of the Prison. They are both about political economy and the irony of how the modern 'free' world is as confining as previous historical eras just in an opposite way. This is kind of Foucault's whole mission, to show us just how... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		HISTORY OF MADNESS from Routledge Price: $26.40 Customer Review: Michel Foucault's first book should be a real treat, for those interested in modern theory and (as previously mentioned in another review) for those with a psychiatric history of their own. I say "should be": although Foucault is usually reckoned as attempting to tackle social facticity without any... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Hermeneutics of the Subject: Lectures at the College de France 1981--1982 (Lectures at the College de France) from Picador Price: $11.56 Customer Review: I repute this book one of the best because the class take the moment that Foucault discover subjectivity as more powerful than power, when secularization leave people free of religion. The book, as the other of collection, was done taking the tapes and Foucault`s class notes and rebuilding the class... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.		Psychiatric Power: Lectures at the College de France, 1973--1974 (Lectures at the College de France) from Picador Price: $10.88 Customer Review: This late addition to the Foucault corpus is a further installment in the College de France courses which have surfaced in the enduring craze for all things Foucault. This volume is no disappointment, as it carries within its pages that wit and offbeat genius that we enjoyed in his earlier work on... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The Normal and the Pathological from Zone Books Price: $13.57 Customer Review: Canguilhem was Foucault's teacher, and this book "The Normal and the Pathological," was the foundation for Foucault's theories of the sociohistorical construction of what constitutes normality.
