Routledge Re-reading Foucault: On Law, Power and Rights

Explore the intersection of legal theory and philosophy with Re-reading Foucault: On Law, Power and Rights. Published by Routledge, this volume represents the first collection in English to fully address how Michel Foucault's influential thought applies to the field of law. While Foucault remains one of the most cited academics of the late twentieth century, with his work impacting the arts, humanities, and social sciences, his specific legal implications have often been overlooked. This book addresses that gap by providing a deep analysis of his theories as they relate to legal frameworks. This text is an essential resource for students, academics, and legal professionals looking to understand the connection between power, rights, and the law. By examining Foucault's work through a legal lens, this collection offers a unique perspective on how his theories animate critical work across multiple intellectual disciplines.
