An examination of the relation between war and politics, by one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers
From 1971 until 1984 at the Coll ge de France, Michel Foucault gave a series of lectures ranging freely and conversationally over the range of his research. In Society Must Be Defended, Foucault deals with the emergence in the early seventeenth century of a new understanding of war as the permanent basis of all institutions of power, a hidden presence within society that could be deciphered by an historical analysis. Tracing this development, Foucault outlines the genealogy of power and knowledge that had become his dominant concern.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Picador USAISBN-13:9780312422660ISBN-10:312422660UPC:9780312422660Book Category:Philosophy, Political ScienceBook Subcategory:History & Surveys, History & Theory, PoliticalBook Topic:ModernSize:8.24 x 5.50 x 0.89 inchesWeight:0.67Product ID:SC3BFHM1A6
