Language, Counter-Memory, Practice: Selected Essays and Interviews

Probing linguistic limits of knowledge and power.

If you're delving into continental philosophy or the intersection of language with knowledge and power, Michel Foucault's essays in "Language, Counter-Memory, Practice" could illuminate your path. Foucault's sharp insights and his conversations with other thinkers like Gilles Deleuze offer rich, thought-provoking material that fans of critical theory often find transformative. This collection is known for challenging perceptions and inviting readers to explore the profound ways in which language shapes our reality.

Description

Because of their range, brilliance, and singularity, the ideas of the philosopher-critic-historian Michel Foucault have gained extraordinary currency throughout the intellectual community. This book offers a selection of seven of Foucault's most important published essays, translated from the French, with an introductory essay and notes by Donald F. Bouchard. Also included are a summary of a course given by Foucault at Collège de France, the transcript of a conversation between Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, and an interview with Foucault that appeared in the journal Actuel.
