Martin Saar, Assistant Professor, Institute for Political Science, Frankfurt University

As the 25th anniversary of Michel Foucault’s death (in June 1984) approaches, now is an appropriate time to assess his intellectual legacy. In this lecture, Martin Saar considered the impact of Foucault’s work on the conceptualization of politics, and in particular whether his conception of political subjectivity and his social ontology enable a distinctive mode of political inquiry.
