Explores the biographical, historical and philosophical connections between Jacques Derrida and Michel FoucaultDerrida and Foucault are unquestionably two of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. Both share a similar motivation to challenge our fundamental structures of meaning – in texts, political structures, and epistemic and discursive practices – in order to inspire new ways of thinking. Between Foucault and Derrida explores the notorious Cogito debate and includes: the central articles, an important piece by Jean-Marie Beyssade, along with a letter Foucault wrote to Beyssade in response – both these pieces available for the first time in English translation. In the second part of the book, 10 essays written by some of the most well-known scholars working in contemporary continental philosophy address the various philosophical intersections and divergences of these two profoundly important thinkers.The first collection of the central essays involved in the Cogito debate between Foucault and DerridaIncludes the first English translations of Jean-Marie Beyssade’s important 1973 article on the debate and Foucault's letter in response to itSome of the best-known scholars working in continental philosophy today examine where Foucault and Derrida converge and diverge, and how they ultimately shaped each other’s projectsContributorsAmy Allen • Ellen Armour • Yubraj Aryal • Jean-Marie Beyssade • Vernon W.

Christopher Penfield illuminates the philosophical encounter between Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, developing the first systematic treatment of Deleuze’s book Foucault, originally published in 1986. Using the full spectrum of Foucault’s primary texts, as well as new insights and analysis from Deleuze’s recently translated and published seminars on Foucault, Penfield identifies and elaborates the two thinkers’ shared philosophy of force as the novel conceptual framework of ‘virtual force ontology.’For the field of Foucault studies, where Foucault still meets with misunderstanding, Penfield clarifies and motivates the demanding, highly abstract portrait of Foucault that Deleuze offers; and in demonstrating Deleuze’s philosophical reconstruction, unlocks unrealized aspects of Foucault’s thought.For students as well as scholars of Deleuze, Penfield establishes the unique place and importance of Foucault in Deleuze’s oeuvre, illuminating the fundamental impact of Foucault on Deleuze and the ‘common cause’ (Deleuze) that shaped the course of their mutually transformative philosophical relationship.
