Foucault's work presents a challenge to orthodox, habitual forms of belief and practice. This text, with an interdisciplinary focus, argues that one of the keys to understanding Foucault is his political thought. It is this which he expressed in his last writings and which pulled together his earlier interests in power, agency and subjectivity. In this volume Foucault scholars and commentators on politics explore the significance of these last writings. They examine such issues as the question of Foucault and human rights; his relationship to ethical thought, power and freedom; his relationship to feminism; and comparisons for his work with Levinas and Rawls.
