Mon corps, ce papier, ce feu Appendix 2 of 1972 Edition Notes Bibliography Critical Bibliography on Foucault’s History of MadnessReviews'Scarcely any philosopher working on the history of philosophy, or historian working on the history of institutions, social science or sexuality can avoid confronting the challenge of Foucault's books.' - Michael Ignatieff, Times Literary Supplement 'Without a shadow of a doubt, the most original, influential and controversial text in this field during the last forty years. It remains as challenging now as on first publication. Its insights have still not been fully appreciated and absorbed.' - Roy Porter 'Extraordinary ... rich and insistent, and almost unreasonable in its necessary repetitions.' - Maurice Blanchot One of the major works of the twentieth century is finally available in English. This comprehensive translation finally overcomes one of the great divisions within the world of reason; an occasion to revisit madness and civilization as it was written.' - Paul Rabinow, University of California, Berkeley, USA 'Now, at last, English speaking readers can have access to the depth of scholarship that underpins Foucault's analysis: I have no doubt that this long awaited translation will have a transformative effect on a new generation of readers.' - Nikolas Rose, London School of Economics, UK '!we are in the presence of a principal thesis that is truly original, by a man whose personality, whose intellectual dynamism , whose talent for exposition all qualify him for high education' - Henri Gouhier, Principal Examiner of Foucault's Thesis 'Without a shadow of a doubt, the most original, influential and controversial text in this field during the last forty years. It remains as challenging now as on first publication. Its insights have still not been fully appreciated and absorbed.' - Roy Porter 'Extraordinary!rich and insistent, and almost unreasonable in its necessary repetitions.' - Maurice Blanchot Author InformationMichel Foucault (1926-84).
