Jordan's careful readings and insightful analyses cover a number of the philosopher's most famous works and several series of public lectures at the Collège de France . . .Jordan is especially adept at noting writers who had a formative influence on Foucault's thought and at noting nuances of the French language often missed, or misunderstood, by English readers. It is a mark of Jordan's success that readers with a background in Foucault will find themselves thinking differently about thinking differently.\" -- S.

It treats Foucault's texts with a sympathetic seriousness that few other religious\/theological treatments are able to accomplish.
