Adam Takács argues that Foucault's procedure can be understood within a unified framework based on the historical problematization of the present, leading to a diagnostic screening of the present through a constructive exploration of the past. This project aims to liberate knowledge and politically subjectivate individuals. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 182 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 December 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFoucault's Critical Philosophy of History: Unfolding the Present offers a comprehensive exploration of Foucault's work, emphasizing its methodological, procedural, and epistemological aspects. Adam Takács contends that while Foucault's approach encompasses diverse themes and analytical perspectives, it can be unified under a common framework rooted in the historical problematization of the present. This framework, driven by contemporary social concerns and seeking a diagnostic examination of the present through a constructive exploration of the past, initiates not only a distinct philosophical conception of history and a research methodology often associated with historiography but also innovative approaches to critical analysis of social phenomena. This book thoroughly examines these elements, revealing how Foucault's frequently debated stances on historical realism and constructivism—his methodological choices and ontological commitments—coalesce into a coherent profile, culminating in a timely social critical project of \"liberation of knowledge\" and \"political subjectivation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793651198\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adam Takacs","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44922206945530,"sku":"9781793651198","price":80.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_a919837a-14f6-4a15-b8e7-ce618b465247.jpg?v=1703409399","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/foucaults-critical-philosophy-of-history-unfolding-the-present-9781793651198","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
