The Cambridge Foucault Lexicon is a reference tool that provides clear and incisive definitions and descriptions of all of Foucault's major terms and influences, including history, knowledge, language, philosophy, and power. It also includes entries on philosophers about whom Foucault wrote and who influenced Foucault's thinking, such as Deleuze, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Canguilhem. The entries are written by scholars of Foucault from a variety of disciplines such as philosophy, gender studies, political science, and history. Together, they shed light on concepts key to Foucault and to ongoing discussions of his work today.

"The Cambridge Foucault Lexicon promises to be an essential tool for all Foucault scholars because of its excellent organization and easy-to-use format. Lawlor and Nale have gathered the most prominent English-speaking Foucault scholars to write the entries for this book."

Kelly Oliver, Vanderbilt University

"This book will be the gold standard for students and researchers seeking an authoritative introduction to key ideas and figures in Foucault's work."
