Power

The Essential Works of Michel Foucault 1954-1984 (Penguin Modern Classics)

13 minMichel Foucault

What's it about

Ever wonder how invisible rules shape your life, from your career to your personal identity? Uncover the hidden systems of power that dictate what you think, say, and do, and learn how to navigate them to your advantage. This collection reveals Michel Foucault's groundbreaking ideas on power, not as a top-down force, but as a web of relationships you can influence. You'll learn how institutions like schools, hospitals, and prisons subtly control behavior and discover how to recognize and resist these forces in your own daily life.

Meet the author

Michel Foucault was one of the most influential and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century, whose work fundamentally changed our understanding of power, knowledge, and social institutions. A philosopher, historian, and social theorist, his groundbreaking analyses were shaped by his own experiences and his relentless questioning of societal norms. Foucault’s investigations into prisons, medicine, and sexuality revealed the subtle ways power operates not through force, but by shaping what we consider to be truth, sanity, and normality itself.
