Description: By using religion to get at the core concepts of Michel Foucault's thinking, this book proposes and models a major shift in the way that the philosopher's work is read across the humanities and social sciences.
Review Quotes: "Jordan offers a bold book that warns readers away from common mistakes fans and detractors make in reading Foucault . . . Jordan's careful readings and insightful analyses cover a number of the philosopher's most famous works and several series of public lectures at the Collège de France . . .Jordan is especially adept at noting writers who had a formative influence on Foucault's thought and at noting nuances of the French language often missed, or misunderstood, by English readers. It is a mark of Jordan's success that readers with a background in Foucault will find themselves thinking differently about thinking differently."--S. Young "Choice"
