These thirteen lectures on the 'punitive society, ' delivered at the Coll ge de France in the first three months of 1973, examine the way in which the relations between justice and truth that govern modern penal law were forged, and question what links them to the emergence of a new punitive regime that still dominates contemporary society.
Praise for Foucault's Lectures at the Coll ge de France Series "Ideas spark off nearly every page...The words may have been spoken in the 1970s], but they seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday."--Bookforum "Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are... He] is carrying out, in the noblest way, the promiscuous aim of true culture."--The Nation " Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual coded and ask new questions... He] gives dramatic quality to the movement of culture."--The New York Review of BooksLanguages:EnglishPublisher:Picador USAISBN-13:9781250183934ISBN-10:1250183936UPC:9781250183934Book Category:PhilosophyBook Subcategory:Ethics & Moral Philosophy, PoliticalSize:8.20 x 5.40 x 0.90 inchesWeight:0.66Product ID:SCZNPF32WX
