Unsentimental biography of Foucault’s life and work showing how Foucault’s background and personal experiences shaped his ideas on power, institutions, sexuality, and knowledge. Rather than turning Foucault into a symbol or icon, Eribon places him in context, tracing the development of his work alongside the debates of his time. A solid introduction for new readers, and a reliable reference for those already familiar with Foucault’s writing.
