- Class Description:
- Michel Foucault's writings have become - albeit always highly contested - important reference points across the humanities, in disciplines such as history, sociology, gender or post-colonial studies, literature or philosophy itself. His idea of theory as a tool box, along with a striking diversity of pursuits, have undoubtedly encouraged such broad reception. A concern for emancipation, however, seems to underpin all of Foucault's theorizing, from his early writings on literature, his reflection on madness and punishment to his late lectures at the Collège de France. It is thus through the lens of emancipation that we will critically survey Foucault's work while resisting the temptation to reduce it to a single coherent system. This perspective will urge us too to explore the centrality and persistence of Foucault's engagement with the philosophies of Kant, Nietzsche, Marx and Heidegger.
