Politics, Philosophy, Culture Summary

Politics, Philosophy, Culture: Interviews and Other Writings, 1977-1984 by Lawrence Kritzman

Politics, Philosophy, Culture contains a rich selection of interviews and other writings by the late Michel Foucault. Drawing upon his revolutionary concept of power as well as his critique of the institutions that organize social life, Foucault discusses literature, music, and the power of art while also examining concrete issues such as the Left in contemporary France, the social security system, the penal system, homosexuality, madness, and the Iranian Revolution.

Politics, Philosophy, Culture Reviews

These writings evince Foucault at his most lucid. Kritzman's introduction is most helpful. -- ReligiousStudies Review
