In the first volume of his History of Sexuality, 'The Will to Knowledge', Foucault weaves together the most influential theoretical account of sexuality since Freud. Now, this is the first reading guide to Foucault's dense and sometimes confusing text. Mark Kelly systematically unpacks the intricacies of Foucault's dense and sometimes confusing exposition, in a straightforward way, putting it in its historical and theoretical context. He looks at the book, its structure and philosophical significance, and corrects several key mistranslations in the only available English version of the 'Will to Knowledge'.
A remarkably clear, concise, and comprehensive guide to one of Michel Foucault’s most important and influential books. Kelly reconstructs Foucault’s argument, situates it within its historical and intellectual context, and clarifies important matters of terminology and translation. An indispensable resource for students approaching Foucault’s text for the first time. * Amy Allen, Dartmouth College *
