Foucault's Legacy

C.G. Prado is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Queen's University, Canada. His previous publications include Starting with Foucault (Westview, 2000), A House Divided: Comparing Analytic and Continental Philosophy (Humanity, 2003), Searle and Foucault on Truth (Cambridge, 2006) and Choosing to Die: Elective Death and Multiculturalism (Cambridge, 2008).

"Foucault felt the epistemic sands shifting under his feet in the mid 1960s. He both registered that shift and contributed to it. In the quarter-century since his death, it is fitting that we consider the extent of the "Foucault effect" on the many areas encompassed by his "ethnology" of his own culture. The authoritative contributors to Foucault's Legacy meet this challenge with insight into his originality and a keen , though not uncritical, sense of his continued relevance to 21-century thought. An extremely valuable collection" - Thomas R. Flynn, Emory University, USA
