Welcome

The Foucault Society is involved in the study and application of Michel Foucault's ideas within a contemporary context.

The Society's new website is a means of engaging the broadest possible audience with the application of the works of Michel Foucault.

We invite you to participate.

"I dream of the intellectual destroyer of evidence and universalities, the one who, in the inertias and constraints of the present, locates and marks the weak points, the openings, the lines of power, who incessantly displaces himself, doesn't know exactly where he is heading nor what he'll think tomorrow because he is too attentive to the present."¹
