Mark Olssen, "Constructing Foucault's ethics: A poststructuralist moral theory for the twenty-first century"
English | ISBN: 1526156601 | 2021 | 336 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The work of Michel Foucault has had a huge influence on contemporary philosophy, but one thing it lacks is a normative ethical framework.
