Philosophy for busy people. Listen to a succinct account of the philosophy of Foucault in just one hour.
The French philosopher Michel Foucault set about his task rather like a historian. After painstaking research, he concluded that knowledge and power were intimately related throughout history. He illustrated this central idea of his philosophy through studies of madness, sexuality, and discipline and punishment, arguing that there is no such thing as absolute truth, only different truths about reality at particular moments – truths that fulfil the needs of power.
This audiobook is an expert account of Foucault’s life and philosophical ideas – entertainingly written and is above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Foucault’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Foucault in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Udmærket intro til, og kritik, af Foucaults teorier og liv. Hørte den som supplement til at læse Foucault på studiet. Men efterlader mig med min forud indstilling af at Foucaults teorier er faktuelt forkerte, metodisk dybt problematiske og grundlæggende ret ubrugelige (de bedre ideer er allerede formuleret bedre af Gramsci.). Mit indtryk er fortsat at Foucault kun er interesant fordi han har påvirket andres tænkning, ikke fordi han bidrager med ret meget reelt nyttigt.

Good, but in my opinion not enough about Faucault’s actual philosophy and work. It’s more about his life story.
