Foucault and religion

See all formats and editions

A study of Michel Foucault in relation and response to religion.

Jeremy Carrette offers an alternative look at Foucault's work and addresses a religious dimension that has previously been neglected.

The reader sees that prior to Foucault's infamous unpublished volume in the "History of Sexuality", on the theme of Christianity, there is a complex religious sub-text which anticipates this final unseen work.

Carrette argues that Foucault offeres a twofold critique of Christianity by bringing the body and sexuality into religious practice and exploring a political spirituality of the self.

He shows the reader that Foucault's creation of a body theology through the death of God, reveals how religious beliefs reflect the sexual body, question the notion of a mystical archaeology and expose the political technology of confession.
