This book makes available, for the first time in English, lectures and interviews that Foucault gave in Japan in 1978, reconstructing their context, and isolating the question of their singular relevance for us today.
Michel Foucault was one of the greatest philosophers and intellectuals of the 20th century.
John Rajchman, presenter and author of the introduction, is a philosopher and a professor in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University. He has written extensively on Foucault, and more generally on postwar French philosophy.
