"I would like my books to be a kind of tool-box which others can rummage through to find a tool which they can use however they wish in their own area... I would like the little volume that I want to write on disciplinary systems to be useful to an educator, a warden, a magistrate, a conscientious objector. I don't write for an audience, I write for users, not readers."1

Biography of Michel Foucault

Michel Foucault was one of the most important philosophers of the last century. The influence of his life and writings has extended far beyond academic philosophy. This is partly due to the topics he chose to write about, but also because his work was autobiographical. He was not a theorist in the traditional sense, but a practioner whose thoughts and life were inextricably woven together in a long and fruitful journey that ended prematurely in 1984. More

Foucault Bibliography

The Society is in the process of creating a complete international bibliography of all of Michel Foucalt's works. In the interim we have provided a link to other bibliographies available on the internet. More

Links

This is a short list of other resources that might be of interest to Foucauldians. Foucault Studies, the new online journal, is an excellent source for recent papers on Foucault and related topics. Several debates and articles have also been included on the list, as well as links to general reference sites and bibliographies. If anyone has suggestions for other links, please let us know.
