Although we think of the last century as one marked by wars and violent conflict, in fact it was just as much a century of nonviolence as the achievements of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. and peaceful protests like the one that removed Ferdinand Marcos from the Philippines clearly demonstrate.

We live in an age of economics. We are encouraged not only to think of our work but also of our lives in economic terms. In many of our practices, we are told that we are consumers and entrepreneurs. What has come to be called neoliberalism is not only a theory of market relations, it is a theory of human relations. Friendship in an Age of Economics both describes and confronts this new reality. It confronts it on some familiar terrain: that o...

An accessible and stimulating introduction to one of the most popular and influential thinkers of the years, Michel Foucault. It examines each of Foucault's key works such as: "Madness and Civilization, " "The Archaeology of Knowledge, " "The Order of Things, " "Discipline and Punish" and the multi-volume "History of Sexuality.
