 DescriptionIn 'Society Must Be Defended' Michel Foucault, one of the twentieth century's most radical thinkers, offers a devastating critique of the systems of power and control inherent in civilization. He reveals how war is the foundation of all power relations: not fought on battlefields, but through the intimidation, sujugation and domination that our political and social institutions are based on. In this sense, he contends, politics is actually 'a continuation of war by other means' Author descriptionMichel Foucault was born in France in 1926. At the time of his death in 1984, he was without doubt France's most prominent thinker. David Macey is the translator of numerous works from French and the author of LACAN IN CONTEXTS, THE LIVES OF MICHEL FOUCAULT, FRANTZ FANON: A LIFE and THE PENGUIN DICTIONARY OF CRITICAL THEORY |
