| book description |

On 20 May 1961 Foucault defended his two doctoral theses; on 2 December 1970 he gave his inaugural lecture at the CollÃ¨ge de France. Between these dates, he published four books, travelled widely, and wrote extensively on literature, the visual arts, linguistics, and philosophy. He taught both psychology and philosophy, beginning his explorations of the question of sexuality. Â Weaving together analyses of published and unpublished material, this is a comprehensive study of this crucial period. As well as Foucaultâ€™s major texts, it discusses his travels to Brazil, Japan, and the USA, his time in Tunisia, and his editorial work forÂ CritiqueÂ and the complete works of Nietzsche and Bataille. It was in this period that Foucault developed the historical-philosophical approach he called â€˜archaeologyâ€™ â€“ the elaboration of the archive â€“ which he understood as the rules that make possible specific claims. In its detailed study of Foucaultâ€™s archive the book is itself an archaeology of Foucault in another sense, both excavation and reconstruction. This book completes a four-volume series of major intellectual histories of Foucault.Â Foucaultâ€™s Last DecadeÂ was published by Polity in 2016;Â Foucault: The Birth of PowerÂ followed in 2017; andÂ The Early FoucaultÂ in 2021.
