本书为法国著名思想家米歇尔·福柯的代表作、作者生前完成了三卷，我社已于2000年3 月翻译出版，共印了两次，这次出版增补版的原因是我社获得法国伽里马赫出版社的授权，同意我社将《性经验史》第四卷已发表的内容《为负法而战斗》作为第四卷收入本书，趁此机会、译者又对以前的译文作 了修改和提高、因此，《性经验史》中文版将成为全球最完整的版本而面世，而且被收入《世纪文库》第二辑。

本书旨在论述关于现代灵魂与一种新的审判权力之间相互关系的历史，论述现行的科学—法律综合体的系谱。在这种综合体中，惩罚权力获得了自身的基础、证明和规则，扩大了自己的效应，并且用这种综合体掩饰自己超常的独特性。……如果这意味着写一部关于现在的历史，那才是我的兴趣所在。在我这一代对我们的时代进行诊断的哲学家圈子里，福柯是对时代精神影响最持久的。

Brought to light at last–the fourth volume in the famous History of Sexuality series by one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century, his final work, which he had completed, but not yet published, upon his death in 1984 Michel Foucault’s philosophy has made an indelible impact on Western thought, and his History of Sexuality series–which traces cultural and intellectual notions of sexuality, arguing that it is profoundly shaped by the power structures applied to it–is one of his most influential works. At the time of his death in 1984, he had completed–but not yet edited or published–the fourth volume, which posits that the origins of totalitarian self-surveillance began with the Christian practice of confession. This is a text both sweeping and deeply personal, as Foucault–born into a French Catholic family–undoubtedly wrestled with these issues himself. Since he had stipulated “Pas de publication posthume,” this text has long been secreted away. However, the sale of the Foucault archives in 2013–which made this text available to scholars–prompted his nephew to seek wider publication. This attitude was shared by Foucault’s longtime partner, Daniel Defert, who said, “What is this privilege given to Ph.D students? I have adopted this principle: It is either everybody or nobody.”

1868年，位于巴黎贫民区的医学院街，一间简陋、肮脏的阁楼，一名男性自杀身亡，旁边放着一本自传的手稿。1 897年，这本自传以《阿莱克西纳·B的故事》为名，被一名法医学家编辑出版，人们这才发现了一位生活在黑暗之中的双性人的故事。这部双性人的自传以感情充沛的笔调讲述了一位年轻女孩经受的折磨和动荡，以及如何一步一步走向男性绝望的苦涩。 1978年，在研究性史的过程中，福柯发现了这名“声名狼藉者”的生活。福柯把这部自传连同那些讨论“真实性别”所依据的医学和法律文件一同编辑出版，并附上一篇重要导读，阐释了双性人的身体如何成为话语/权力管控的对象。福柯借助“无确定性别”的快感概念，回应了19世纪以来医学和司法要求确定“真实性别”的做法。

这部著作是对知识的清洗和质疑。它把“自然”的一个片段交还给历史，改造了疯癫，即把我们当做医学现象的东西变成了一种文明现象。实际上，福柯从未界定疯癫；疯癫并不是认识对象，其历史需要重新揭示；可以说，它不过是这种认识本身；疯癫不是一种疾病，而是一种随时间而变的异己感；福柯从未把疯癫当做一种功能现实，在他看来，他纯粹是理性与非理性，观看者与被观看者相结合所产生的效应。

《规训与惩罚(修订译本)》旨在论述关于现代灵魂与一种新的审判权力之间相互关系的历史，论述现行的科学一法律综合体的系谱。在这种综合体中。惩罚权力获得了自身的基础、证明和规则。扩大了自己的效应，并且用这种综合体掩饰自己超常的独特性。

When one defines order as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was The Order of Things that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls exotic charm. Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.

In this brilliant work, the most influential philosopher since Sartre suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.

本卷结集的文章主题是自我技术，自我技术决定了个人如何把自己构建成为自身行动的伦理主体。对古代人而言，这意味着：人们是怎样改变自我的？改变自我的目的、技术、影响何在？对自我技术和自我文化变迁的考察，构成了福柯晚年思考的主要内容，同时也塑造了晚期福柯一种典雅的语言风格。 （本套福柯文选共有三本，编选的文章，横跨福柯思想的整个领域，自六十年代的文学研究到生前的最后一期访谈，全方位、立体化地展现福柯思想全貌。其中，有些文章之前未有中文译本，更凸显了本文选内容上的独特性和价值。） 福柯的思想的力量和影响是令人惊讶的，同时也将是永恒的。 ——爱德华·赛义德 福柯的方法既带有极端的科学辨别力，又保持有对“科学”的极端的距离；这是对我们的知识传统的第一次冲击。 ——罗兰·巴特 如果福柯是一个伟大的哲学家，这是因为他出于历史之外的原因而利用了历史：就像尼采所言，因为人们希望一个时代将要来临，就反对这个时代，于是对这个时代产生影响。 ——吉尔·德勒兹

Picador is proud to publish the sixth volume in Foucault's prestigious, groundbreaking series of lectures at the Collège de France from 1970 to 1984 . The Birth of Biopolitics continues to pursue the themes of Foucault's lectures from Security, Territory, Population. Having shown how eighteenth-century political economy marks the birth of a new governmental rationality--seeking maximum effectiveness by governing less and in accordance with the naturalness of the phenomena to be governed--Michel Foucault undertakes a detailed analysis of the forms of this liberal governmentality. In a direct and conversational tone, this book raises questions of political philosophy and social policy that are at the heart of current debates about the role and status of neo-liberalism in twentieth century politics.

An examination of the relation between war and politics, by one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers From 1971 until 1984 at the Collège de France, Michel Foucault gave a series of lectures ranging freely and conversationally over the range of his research. In Society Must Be Defended, Foucault deals with the emergence in the early seventeenth century of a new understanding of war as the permanent basis of all institutions of power, a hidden presence within society that could be deciphered by an historical analysis. Tracing this development, Foucault outlines the genealogy of power and knowledge that had become his dominant concern.

The course given by Michel Foucault from February to March 1984, under the title The Courage of Truth, was his last at the Collège de France. His death shortly after, on June 25th, tempts us to detect a philosophical testament in these lectures, especially in view of the prominence they give to the theme of death, notably through a reinterpretation of Socrates' last words–'Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius'– which, with Georges Dumézil, Foucault understands as the expression of a profound gratitude towards philosophy for its cure of the only serious illness: that of false opinions and prejudices. These lectures continue and radicalize the analyses of those of the previous year. Foucault's 1983 lectures investigated the function of 'truth telling' in politics in order to establish courage and conviction as ethical conditions for democracy irreducible to the formal rules of consensus. With the Cynics, this manifestation of the truth no longer appears simply as a risky speaking out, but in the very substance of existence. In fact, Foucault offers an incisive study of ancient Cynicism as practical philosophy, athleticism of the truth, public provocation, and ascetic sovereignty. The scandal of the true life is constructed in opposition to Platonism and its world of transcendent intelligible Forms. 'There is no establishment of the truth without an essential position of otherness. The truth is never the same. There can be truth only in the form of the other world and the other life.'

This lecture, given by Michel Foucault at the College de France, launches an inquiry into the notion of parresia and continues his rereading of ancient philosophy. Through the study of this notion of truth-telling, of speaking out freely, Foucault re-examines Greek citizenship, showing how the courage of the truth forms the forgotten ethical basis of Athenian democracy. The figure of the philosopher king, the condemnation of writing, and Socrates' rejection of political involvement are some of the many topics of ancient philosophy revisited here.

The Hermeneutics of the Subject is the third volume in the collection of Michel Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France, where faculty give public lectures on any topic of their choosing. Attended by thousands, Foucault's lectures were seminal events in the world of French letters, and his ideas expressed there remain benchmarks of contemporary critical inquiry. . Foucault's wide-ranging lectures at this school, delivered throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, clearly influenced his groundbreaking books, especially The History of Sexuality and Discipline and Punish. In the lectures comprising this volume, Foucault focuses on how the "self" and the "care of the self" were conceived during the period of antiquity, beginning with Socrates. The problems of the ethical formation of the self, Foucault argues, form the background for our own questions about subjectivity and remain at the center of contemporary moral thought. . This series of lectures continues to throw new light on Foucault's final works, and shows the full depth of his engagement with ancient thought. Lucid and provocative, The Hermeneutics of the Subject reveals Foucault at the height of his powers.

In the eighteenth century, medicine underwent a mutation. For the first time, medical knowledge took on a precision that had formerly belonged only to mathematics. The body became something that could be mapped. Disease became subject to new rules of classification. And doctors begin to describe phenomena that for centuries had remained below the threshold of the visible and expressible. In The Birth of the Clinic the philosopher and intellectual historian who may be the true heir to Nietzsche charts this dramatic transformation of medical knowledge. As in his classic Madness and Civilization, Michel Foucault shows how much what we think of as pure science owes to social and cultural attitudes -- in this case, to the climate of the French Revolution. Brilliant, provocative, and omnivorously learned, his book sheds new light on the origins of our current notions of health and sickness, life and death.

Michel Foucault was one of the most influential thinkers in the contemporary world, someone whose work has affected the teaching of half a dozen disciplines ranging from literary criticism to the history of criminology. But of his many books, not one offers a satisfactory introduction to the entire complex body of his work. The Foucault Reader was commissioned precisely to serve that purpose. The Reader contains selections from each area of Foucault's work as well as a wealth of previously unpublished writings, including important material written especially for this volume, the preface to the long-awaited second volume of The History of Sexuality, and interviews with Foucault himself, in the course of which he discussed his philosophy at first hand and with unprecedented candor. This philosophy comprises an astonishing intellectual enterprise: a minute and ongoing investigation of the nature of power in society. Foucault's analyses of this power as it manifests itself in society, schools, hospitals, factories, homes, families, and other forms of organized society are brought together in The Foucault Reader to create an overview of this theme and of the broad social and political vision that underlies it.

Madness, sexuality, power, knowledge-are these facts of life or simply parts of speech? In a series of works of astonishing brilliance, historian Michel Foucault excavated the hidden assumptions that govern the way we live and the way we think. The Archaeology of Knowledge begins at the level of 'things said' and moves quickly to illuminate the connections between knowledge, language, and action in a style at once profound and personal.
