"[Foucault] must be reckoned with by humanists, social scientists, and political activists." –The New York Times Book Review
"Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are. . . [He] is carrying out, in the noblest way, the promiscuous aim of true culture." –
The Nation "[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind which 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
