Description: This book is a critical evaluation of the context and the content of Michel Foucault's lectures and writings on the state and on civil society. It seeks to recover a nuanced understanding of his relation to the state that is relevant to our social and intellectual context today in which there is a proliferation of 'civil society' struggles and discourses (Occupy movement, the Arab Spring, non-governmental organizations) and anti-state tendences (the Tea Party). It hence focuses on his diagnoses and genealogy of 'state phobia' and 'anti-governmental eschatology' and his view of civil society as a 'regime of veridiction' for liberal governing. Moreover, it follows the way that Foucault's work has been read in influential thinkers such as Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri and Nikolas Rose and reveals common elements of anti-statism and vitalism in these otherwise disparate approaches. The book makes an original contribution to contemporary critical social and political theory.
