"[Foucault] must be reckoned with by humanists, social scientists, and political activists." –The New York Times Book Review
"[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. . . . [He carries] out, in the noblest way, the promiscuous aim of true culture." –
