Philosopher Michel Foucault dissects the sinister systems that control us - medicine, psychiatry, prisons, sexuality. From the clinic to the asylum, he reveals the unseen chains that bind us. Yet Foucault also charts a path to freedom, unlocking the politics of personal conduct and the revolutionary potential within. This seminal work lays bare the true nature of power - and our power to resist it.
