Descartes and Foucault : A Contrastive Introduction to Philosophy

This book provides an unconventional introduction to core philosophical issues by considering and contrasting two brief and accessible but highly influential and representative philosophical works: Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy and Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality: works which, in their respective styles and methods offer the most widely divergent paradigms of philosophizing on questions of epistemology.
