"[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual codes and ask new questions . . . [He] gives dramatic quality to the movement of culture." –The New York Review of Books
"Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are." –
The Nation "These lectures offer important insights into the evolution of the primary focus of Foucault's later work–the relationship between power and knowledge." –
Library Journal "Ideas spark off nearly every page . . . The words may have been spoken in [the 1970s], but they seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday." –
