Booklist
The third volume of Foucault's miscellaneous writings--previous volumes covered Ethics (1997) and Aesthetics, Method, and Epistemology (1998)--gathers lectures and prefaces, group discussions and interviews. Foucault made no claim to be a political theorist, yet the nature of power and the ways it is exercised were a central concern of much of his work. The volume's thirty pieces include historical discussions (The Politics of Health in the Eighteenth Century, About the Concept of the Dangerous Individual in Nineteenth-Century Legal Psychiatry) and theoretical analyses (Truth and Juridical Forms, Governmentality, The Subject and Power), as well as interviews and examples of Foucault's own political activism (Letter to Certain Leaders of the Left).
