<br/><br/> "Michel Foucault has long been considered one of the most powerful critics of modern civilization. He is especially noted for his analysis of power, which many readers claim is an absolute rejection of modernity as unfree. By contrast, in Michel Foucault and the Politics of Freedom, Thomas L. Dumm reads Foucault as a philosopher of freedom. Dumm shows how Foucault connects the constitution of space with various practices of freedom. Foucault, he suggests, enables us to see how contemporary liberalism's separation of public and private spheres aims to preserve freedom, but ultimately contains it."--Publisher's description.
