Gary Gutting

Gary Gutting (1942–2019) was an American philosopher and professor at the University of Notre Dame who was known for making complex philosophical ideas accessible to general readers. He was a regular contributor to The New York Times philosophy blog, The Stone. Foucault provides a clear, engaging introduction to the thought of Michel Foucault — one of the most influential and challenging thinkers of the twentieth century. Gutting explains Foucault's ideas about power, knowledge, discipline, and sexuality with clarity and scholarly authority. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers an excellent gateway to Foucault's philosophy. Gutting's work appeals to students, philosophy enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to understand Foucault's ideas without having to wrestle with his famously difficult prose.
