Lectures on the will to know St martin's press (St Martin's Press)

"The Will to Know" reminds us that Michel Foucault's work only ever had one object: truth. Here, he builds on his earlier work, "Discipline and Punish," to explore the relationship between tragedy, conflict, and truth-telling. He also explores the different forms of truth-telling, and their relation to power and the law. The publication of "The Will to Know" marks a milestone in Foucault's reception, and it will no longer be possible to read him in the same way as before.
