Foucault’s philosophical development is first traced through essays that place him in the context of his relationship to ancient philosophy, phenomenology, Marxism, structuralism; and to figures such as Kant, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Habermas, and others. Further essays then evaluate the major contribution of Foucault’s thought to some of the central philosophical problems of our time, including freedom, knowledge, subjectivity, ethics, power, and the nature of philosophy itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the 25th anniversary of Foucault’s death upon us, \u003ci\u003eFoucault and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e offers a timely and invaluable scholarly reconsideration of the philosophical development and legacy of a controversial and iconic figure of 20th-century thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Contributors.  \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Foucault's Philosophy (\u003ci\u003eChristopher Falzon \u0026amp; Timothy O'Leary\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Foucault, Hegel, and Philosophy (\u003ci\u003eGary Gutting\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 \"I am Simply a Nietzschean\" (\u003ci\u003eHans Sluga\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Foucault, Heidegger, and the History of Truth (\u003ci\u003eTimothy Rayner\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Entanglement of Power and Validity: Foucault and Critical Theory (\u003ci\u003eAmy Allen\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Foucault, Davidson, and Interpretation (\u003ci\u003eC.
