Michel Foucault. A Biography. Expanded new edition

With his work, which can be interpreted as a rebellion against the power of norms and normality, Michel Foucault became oneof the most important thinkers of our time. Didier Eribon is one of Foucault’s most intimately familiar scholars; the two were bound by an intense, albeit all too brief, friendship. His biography of Foucault, published in 1989, became a classic, interweaving Foucault’s theoretical work with the events of his life for the first time. The new, fully revised edition has been expanded to include numerous additional aspects and, amongst other things, examines in detail Foucault’s relationships with Jacques Derrida, Pierre Bourdieu and Simone de Beauvoir. This also creates a captivating panorama of French intellectual life in the second half of the 20th century.In conversation with Catherine Newmark, Eribon traces his portrait of Foucault as a thinker whose practice and philosophy remain highly relevant long after his death and provide an analysis of our present day.
