Young Foucault: The Lille manuscripts on psychopathology, phenomenology, and anthropology, 1952–1955.

Elisabetta Basso, author of I Young Foucault i , has long been the most important guide to Foucault's relation to Binswanger. Michel Foucault published very little before the I History of Madness i in 1961. With the publication of Foucault's manuscripts from the 1950s, and their planned English translation with Columbia University Press in the series Harcourt edits, a new phase of Foucault scholarship is beginning. It is a significant contribution to our understanding of Foucault's intellectual development, focusing on the box 46 manuscripts, all written while Foucault was teaching in Lille between 1952 and 1955.
