<p>“Summing Up: Essential.  Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers.”  (<i>Choice</i>, 1 November 2013)</p> <p>“This Companion will be most useful for an intermediate or advanced student of Foucault. Both the 'chronology' and the bibliography of English works of Foucault are required for any serious study of his work. And the fact that most of the authors in this book have written books on different aspects of Foucault's work means that it can be taken as a proxy for a survey into the current reception of his thought in the Anglophone world.”  (<i>Metapsychology</i>, 23 July 2013)</p>

<p><b>Christopher Falzon</b> is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He is the author of <i>Foucault and Social Dialogue</i> (1998), <i>Philosophy Goes to the Movies</i> (2002 & 2007), and co-editor, with Timothy O’Leary, of <i>Foucault and Philosophy</i> (2010).</p> <p><b>Timothy O’Leary</b> is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong. He has published widely on Foucault, including <i>Foucault and the Art of Ethics</i> (2002) and <i>Foucault and Fiction: The Experience Book</i> (2009). He is also co-editor, with Christopher Falzon, of <i>Foucault and Philosophy</i> (2010).</p> <p><b>Jana Sawicki</b> is Carl Vogt Professor of Philosophy at Williams College in Western Massachusetts. She is the author of <i>Disciplining Foucault:  Feminism, Power and the Body</i> (1991) and is guest editor (with Shannon Winnubst) of a special issue of <i>Foucault Studies</i> on Foucault and queer theory. She has written many articles on Foucault, feminism and queer theory.</p>

<p>For close to half a century, the innovative thought of French philosopher and social critic Michel Foucault has exercised an enormous influence across a wide range of disciplines–and continues to be widely debated in intellectual circles. <i>A Companion to Foucault</i> is the most extensive and up-to-date anthology of explorations of Michel Foucault’s work currently available. Featuring essays from a wide range of established and emerging Foucault scholars, chapters address various thematic aspects of Foucault’s major works, including his recently published courses at the Collège de France. Additional essays consider Foucault’s writings on such topics as knowledge and critique; power and government; sex and gender; ethics and modernity; as well as religion, race, and the environment.  Also featured is the first full translation of Daniel Defert’s ‘Chronology’ of Foucault’s life and works from <i>Dits et Ecrits</i>, along with a comprehensive bibliography of Foucault’s shorter works in English, cross-referenced to the standard French edition. Indispensable in its own right, <i>A Companion to Foucault</i> sheds important new light on one of the major twentieth-century figures in the world of ideas.</p>

"An attractive, illuminating, and indeed indispensable volume for anyone interested in Foucault. The translation of Daniel Defert's chronology makes this a must-have for English-speaking readers of Foucault's work. In addition, the volume contains a series of incisive essays by established and younger scholars on all aspects of Foucault's thought."<br /> <br /> —Hans Sluga, University of California, Berkeley
