Matthew Royal reviewed Foucault by Gary Gutting
Review of 'Foucault' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I expected this book to present a neutral overview of Foucault's life and work, possibly with illustrative quotations. Halfway through, I've found instead a considerable amount of criticism of Foucault, with ideas presented for the sole purpose of showing how wrong Foucault is. I do not care about Gary Gutting's opinion of Foucault; I want instead "A Very Short Introduction" to Foucault.
This book disappoints on all my expectations, and so I'm adding it to my "Did Not Finish" shelf.
