Rezensionen

"Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through
researchers/faculty." (Choice, 1 August 2011)

"In sum, then, O'Leary and Falzon have brought together a good
and interesting set of essays that are well worth reading. This
volume will be of interest to all scholars who work with Foucault's
texts and might be recommended to advanced undergraduate students."
(Notre Dame, 22 March 2011)

"As a whole the volume on Foucault's relation to philosophy is a
fascinating contribution to the vast literature on his work.
Although the papers within the volume were somewhat short, they
open up many divergent areas of potential research for the future."
(Metapsychology Online, January 2011)

"Was it important that Michel Foucault thought philosophically?
That among his major partners in reflection were Kant, Hegel,
Nietzsche, Heidegger and Habermas? That Foucault's experiments in
thought intersected with analyses of subjectivity, theories of
knowledge, philosophies of experience? The outstanding
contributions to this volume respond to these questions by leading
its readers into an excavation of Foucault's philosophical
curiosity and his unfinished road map to the good life."

--James Bernauer, Boston College
