This study critically examines the implications of Foucault's work for students and researchers in a wide selection of areas in the social and human sciences.Though Foucault is now widely taught in universities, his writings are notoriously difficult. Reassessing Foucault critically examines the implications of his work for students and researchers in a wide array of areas in the social and human sciences.Focusing on the social history of medicine, successive chapters deal with his historiographical, methodological and philosophical writings, his ideas about prisons, hospitals, madness and disease, and his thinking about the body. They engage with principal aspects of his thought and relevance and suggest ways in which Foucault's influence will continue to dominate cultural history and the social sciences.
