"These wide-ranging pieces, most of which are presented here in English for the first time, illuminate -- in Foucault's own words -- the method and practice of his last, fertile decade. Foucault rethinks ideas of truth, history, politics and political action, ethics, the social self, and the function of the intellectual by crossing conventional disciplinary boundaries and situating his theories within the history of ideas."
