"Focusing on the importance of Foucault's most central ideas for present-day philosophy, the book shows how his influence goes beyond his own canonical tradition and linguistic milieu. The essays in this book explore key areas of Foucault's thought by comparing aspects of his work with the thought of a number of major philosophers ... the book also considers the applicability of his central ideas to broader issues such as totalitarianism, religion, and self-sacrifice. ... the book shows how important Foucault reamins to philosophy today."--Back cover
