Michel Foucault cover

An overview and synthesis of Michel Foucault’s influential educational thought in one volume, including coverage of the reception and influence of his work and its relevance today.

Michel Foucault’s influential work spanned a wide array of intellectual disciplines, his writings having been widely taken up in philosophy, history, literary criticism and political theory. Focusing on the implications of Foucault’s theories for education, whilst characterizing them as provocative, problematizing, poetic and playful, Lynn Fendler describes the historical context for understanding Foucault’s ground breaking critiques. Including a discussion of his major theories of disciplinary power, genealogy, discourse and subjectivity, this text provides generative explanations of concepts, using analogies to the Internet and to food, in order to connect Foucault’s theories to everyday experience.
