Populaarse raamatu parandatud ja taiendatud uustrukk, lisatud on foto ja epiloog. Raamat raagib loo sellest, kuidas endine majandusajakirjanik jattis oma mugava elu Eestis ja kolis toole Buenos Airese vaestelinnaosasse, mismoodi ta seal paevakeskuses prussakatega voitles ja siis hoopis ulemuseks sai, mismoodi ta kais tutvumas vaalade ja pingviinidega, mismoodi ta ei suutnud prugikastiinimesega intervjuud teha, kuidas rullusid suhtemustrid vabatahtlike hulgas ja „Kakluskubiks” nimetatud uhiskorteris. „Buenos Airese hing on ulbe ja pirtsakas; samas ka ullas ja suuremeelne,” utleb autor. „Uhel hetkel virutab ta sulle oelalt naerdes sellise paugu, et vajud polvili, veremaik suus; teisel hetkel teeb sulle uskumatuna naivaid suuremeelseid kingitusi.”

Michel Foucault and Paul Veyne: the philosopher and the historian. Two major figures in the world of ideas, resisting all attempts at categorization. Two timeless thinkers who have long walked and fought together. In this short book Paul Veyne offers a fresh portrait of his friend and relaunches the debate about his ideas and legacy. ‘Foucault is not who you think he is’, writes Veyne; he stood neither on the left nor on the right and was frequently disowned by both. He was not so much a structuralist as a sceptic, an empiricist disciple of Montaigne, who never ceased in his work to reflect on 'truth games', on singular, constructed truths that belonged to their own time. A unique testimony by a scholar who knew Foucault well, this book succeeds brilliantly in grasping the core of his thought and in stripping away the confusions and misunderstandings that have so often characterized the interpretation of Foucault and his work.

After painstaking research, he concluded that knowledge and power were intimately related throughout history.

Also included are selections from Foucault’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Foucault in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.
