Michel Foucault bibliography


Michel Foucault was a prominent twentieth-century French philosopher, who wrote prolifically. Many of his works were translated into English. Works from his later years remain unpublished.

Collège de France Course Lectures

Other Lectures

In a 1967 lecture, titled in English as either "Different Spaces" or "Of Other Spaces", Foucault coined a novel concept of the heterotopia.

Anthologies

In French, almost all of Foucault's shorter writings, published interviews and miscellany have been published in a collection called Dits et écrits, originally published in four volumes in 1994, latterly in only two volumes.
In English, there are a number of overlapping anthologies, which often use different translations of the overlapping pieces, frequently with different titles. Richard Lynch's of Foucault's shorter work is invaluable for keeping track of these multiple versions. The major collections in English are:Language, Counter-Memory, Practice, edited by Donald F. Bouchard Power/Knowledge, edited by C. Gordon The Foucault Reader, edited by P. Rabinow Politics, Philosophy, Culture: Interviews and Other Writings, 1977–1984, translated by A. Sheridan, edited by L. D. Kritzman Foucault Live, edited by Sylvère Lotringer The Politics of Truth, edited by Sylvère Lotringer Ethics: subjectivity and truth, edited by P. Rabinow Aesthetics, Method, Epistemology, edited by J. D. Faubion Power, edited by J. D. Faubion The Essential Foucault, edited by P. Rabinow and N. Rose
