Description
"Reassessing Foucault" critically examines the implications of Foucaults work for a wide range of areas in the social and human sciences. Focusing on the social history of medicine, successive chapters deal with his historiographical, methodological and philosophical writings, his ideas about prisons, hospitals, madness and disease, and his thinking about the body. They engage with principal aspects of his thought and relevance, and suggest ways in which Foucaults influence will continue to dominate cultural history and the social sciences.
