Newly published lectures by Foucault on madness, literature, and structuralism.Perceiving an enigmatic relationship between madness, language, and literature, French philosopher Michel Foucault developed ideas during the 1960s that are less explicit in his later, more well-known writings.

This book, which Foucault himself has judged accurate, is the first to provide a sustained, coherent analysis of the French philosopher's work as a whole.To demonstrate the sense in which Foucault's work is beyond structuralism and hermeneutics, the authors unfold a careful, analytical exposition of his oeuvre. They argue that Foucault's work during the seventies became a sustained and largely successful effort to develop a new method—"interpretative analytics"—capa...

Pretendió allí mostrar las técnicas, los procedimientos y los fines históricos con los que un sujeto ético se constituye en una relación determinada con sigo mismo. Sus estudios van más allá de la estricta historia de la filosofía: al describir el modo de subje...

En 1978, Michel Foucault annonce un volume de son Histoire de la sexualité "consacré aux hermaphrodites". Avec la réorientation de son enquête vers l’Antiquité, il y a renoncé. Demeure dans ses archives ce manuscrit qui aurait pu en faire l’ouverture. À partir de procès échelonnés entre le XVIe et le XVIIIe siècle, il met en lumière le passage d’un régime juridique, attribuant un "sexe de décision", à un régime de véridiction, postulant que chaque individu a un seul et "vrai" sexe, qu’il r...
