The first detailed account of Foucault's lifelong obsession with death, suicide, drugs, and sadomasochistic eroticism, James Miller's impressively documented study is a provocative exploration of the life and work of one of the most influential, original, and controversial figures in 20th-century intellectual history.

Review:
Probably the best general introduction to Foucault's later thinking.

ƯA¨ bold and brilliant reconstruction of Foucault's life and thought...Miller's argument is persuasive.

[A] bold and brilliant reconstruction of Foucault's life and thought...Miller's argument is persuasive.

Miller's controversial book is the product of prodigious research...[H]e discusses madness, death, and homosexuality, and particularly sadomasochism in great, graphic, almost sensational detail.

Miller gives us the portrait of a vibrant, incandescent, fearless, and luminous mind--yes, perhaps self-destructive and all too human, but one that can never be accused of banality, mediocrity, pettiness, or naivetA(c).

James Miller's impressively documented study of Foucault's life in philosophy is an electric, disturbing, and brilliantly provocative work, truly worthy of its subject, and essential companion to a reading of late twentieth century Western culture.--Edward W. Said, author of Culture and Imperialism and Orientalism

James Miller may shock some readers with his way of talking about both sex and philosophy, Nietzsche and AIDS, theories of knowledge and sadomasochism, but out of these contrasting elements he constructs a heroic life, one that illustrates the very notion Foucault developed late in his career, the idea that a philosopher's life should be exemplary and that he himself should be a lover of wisdom, a seeker of truth.--Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own Story
About the Author:
James Miller is Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Liberal Studies at the New School for Social Research.
