“[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual codes and ask new questions . . . [He] gives dramatic quality to the movement of culture.” —The New York Review of Books

“Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are.” —The Nation

“These lectures offer important insights into the evolution of the primary focus of Foucault's later work--the relationship between power and knowledge.” —Library Journal

“Ideas spark off nearly every page . . . The words may have been spoken in [the 1970s], but they seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday.” —Bookforum
