<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Lectures on the Will to Know</i> reminds us that Michel Foucault's work only ever had one object: truth. Here, he builds on his earlier work, <i>Discipline and Punish</i>, to explore the relationship between tragedy, conflict, and truth-telling. He also explores the different forms of truth-telling, and their relation to power and the law. The publication of <i>Lectures on the Will to Know</i> marks a milestone in Foucault's reception, and it will no longer be possible to read him in the same way as before.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Foucault must be reckoned with." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Foucault has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual codes and ask new questions . . . He gives dramatic quality to the movement of culture." --<i>The New York Review of Books</i> <p/>"Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are . . . [His work carries] out, in the noblest way, the promiscuous aim of true culture." --<i>The Nation</i> <p/>"Ideas spark off nearly every page...The words may have been spoken in [the 1970s] but they seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday." --<i>Bookforum</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>MICHEL FOUCAULT (1926-1984) acknowledged as the preeminent philosopher of France in the 1970s and '80s, continues to have enormous impact throughout the world in many disciplines.
