Paperback. Condition: New. In Foucault's Discipline, John S. Ransom extracts a distinctive vision of the political world-and oppositional possibilities within it-from the welter of disparate topics and projects Michel Foucault pursued over his lifetime. Uniquely, Ransom presents Foucault as a political theorist in the tradition of Weber and Nietzsche, and specifically examines Foucault's work in relation to the political tradition of liberalism and the Frankfurt School. By concentrating primarily on Discipline and Punish and the later Foucauldian texts, Ransom provides a fresh interpretation of this controversial philosopher's perspectives on concepts such as freedom, right, truth, and power. Foucault's Discipline demonstrates how Foucault's valorization of descriptive critique over prescriptive plans of action can be applied to the decisively altered political landscape of the end of this millennium. By reconstructing the philosopher's arguments concerning the significance of disciplinary institutions, biopower, subjectivity, and forms of resistance in modern society, Ransom shows how Foucault has provided a different way of looking at and responding to contemporary models of government-in short, a new depiction of the political world.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Inside, you?ll find discussions of subjectivity, governance, and the subtle machinery of control that operates not just in prisons or institutions, but in everyday life?yes, even in the act of deciding whether to buy this very book. It?s the sort of reading that makes you pause mid-sentence, look up, and wonder whether you?ve just been socially constructed into agreeing with something. Condition-wise, this copy is listed as Good , which in Crappy Old Books terms means it has lived a life. It may have been read by someone earnest, possibly slightly sleep-deprived, perhaps underlining passages with the intensity of a late-night revelation. Expect light wear, maybe a softened spine, the faint suggestion that ideas have passed through these pages before you. In other words, entirely appropriate for a book about discipline and the shaping of selves. This is not a beach read. It is, however, the sort of book you can carry onto a train and immediately upgrade your intellectual aura by at least 40%. Whether you intend to read it cover to cover, dip in strategically, or simply let it exist nearby as a statement of intent is entirely up to you?and, as Foucault might suggest, perhaps not entirely your own decision anyway. A quietly subversive addition to any shelf, and a very respectable way to say: yes, I?ve considered the politics of subjectivity? or at least I own the book .…

PAP. Condition: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. 1st Edition. First Printing as confirmed by McBride. The book would be fine save for shelf wear along bottom of boards and text block, slight translucent spotting of front lower text block. Else book is free of internal marking, spine is tight, boards rigid and tips are pointed. While the jacket has its price on the back flap, it has general wear all over, loss and small chipping at most edges, especially along spine and at top and bottom of spine. Actually looks quite smart in its shiny new plastic cover. Shipping box is suitable for wrapping with a non-price listed purchase order inside along with biodegradable packing. …
