The Passion of Michel Foucault by James Miller, Nietzsche, Philosophy

Description: The Passion of Michel Foucault by Jim Miller, Nietzsche, AIDS Paperback philosophy Free Shipping Miller’s book is a cultural event: a classic of intellectual biography, a tour de force that unites philosophical acuity, psychological delicacy, and what can only be called an artistic sense of the inner landscape of thought, of that elusive place where one’s life and philosophy mingle. Forcefully, yet in the end with salutary reticence, Miller unriddles this great, masked thinker.Because it takes an unflinching look at Foucault’s personal life, including his avid participation in San Francisco’s S/M subculture, and because it regards that life as inextricable from his thought, Miller’s book is certain to be controversial. Some academic Foucauldians will protest that it is an exercise in psychologistic reduction—a bitterly ironic fate for Foucault, who spent his life disputing the idea that the individual had a deep psychological “truth.”
