The final volume of the Essential Works series, this brings together Foucault's contributions to the practice of political analysis. It covers the domains Foucault helped to make part of the core agenda of Western political culture--medicine, prisons, psychiatry, and sexuality--expanding on the themes of many of his best-known works. Including important later writings, this volume highlights Foucault's analysis of the politics of personal conduct and freedom. It also documents his wide range of interests through lectures, articles, and interviews--many unavailable in English until now.
