Power (The Essential Works Of Foucault, 1954-1984, Vol. 3)
Available To Downloads

Power, the third and final volume of The New Press’s Essential Works of Foucault series, draws together Foucault’s contributions to what he saw as the still-underdeveloped practice of political analysis. It covers the domains Foucault helped to make part of the core agenda of Western political culture—medicine, psychiatry, the penal system, sexuality—illuminating and expanding on the themes of The Birth of the Clinic, Discipline and Punish, and the first volume of The History of Sexuality.Power includes previously unpublished lectures, later writings highlighting Foucault’s revolutionary analysis of the politics of personal conduct and freedom, interviews, and letters that illuminate Foucault’s own political activism.

I suppose this work wins big for the simple volume of material presented. The large collection of essays, lectures and interviews really digs into every little corner of Foucault's thought on power, including its slow development toward ethics. The collection also contains more than a hundred pages on Foucault's political activities. Again, the introduction is lengthy, thorough and very great at summarizing a complex system of thought.

Read the first essay (actually a lecture given in Brazil) "Truth and Juridical Forms" and compare his thesis with the developing NSA omnipresent "surveillance". The snickering anglo-phile philosophers that so belittled Foucault must be shaken up a bit.

appropriate for my research

he was the greatest thinker of all time
