This book is the first to systematically reconstruct Michel Foucault’s
political and philosophical thought across his career. It argues, in the
areas of epistemology, power, subjectivity, resistance, politics, and
ethics, that Foucault’s work represents the articulation of a consistent
and progressive philosophical and political viewpoint. The work is thus
an important intervention into the field of Foucault studies, where
many continue to claim that Foucault’s work is contradictory,
nonsensical, or nihilistic.
