'Who since Weber, or perhaps even Hobbes, has done as much to show why
power is such a profound, elusive and treacherous presence throughout
our experience?' The Times Higher Education. The third and final volume of
the Essential Works of Foucault series, Power brings together his
writings on the issues that he helped make the core agenda of Western
political culture: medicine, prisons, psychiatry, government and
sexuality, in particular showing his concerns with human rights,
discrimination and exclusion. It also includes articles and open letters
published directly in response to the issues of the time, calling for
reform in abortion, asylum and the death penalty. All the pieces here
bring a new sense of Foucault's huge influence on the politics of
personal freedom.
