Enlightenment and Revolution: Study and translation of Michel Foucault's stance

The researchers classified Michel Foucault's philosophy into various categories, including prophetic classification, post-structuralism, structuralism, and postmodernism. He himself used the terms archaeology, genealogy, and finally historical ontology to describe his philosophy. Is there a relationship between these terms? - the author of the book questions - and do they represent different stages in the philosopher's journey? And if so, do they indicate a discontinuity or a transformation? And finally, what is this historical ontology? And what is its relation to Michel Foucault's various intellectual stages...? The purpose of these questions, the author states, is not to add a new classification, but rather "to find the guiding thread of this philosophy, the path that expresses this philosophy and allows studying its relationship with the Enlightenment," in other words, the author seeks to present a new critical reading of this philosophy through a historical approach to its trajectory, themes, and issues, especially in relation to the Enlightenment, which was the main subject of Foucault's philosophy. However, the theoretical understanding of philosopher Foucault cannot be achieved from the questions of (Enlightenment and revolution) unless the two texts he presented on two different occasions are studied analytically and critically. This means the author refers to: the text Foucault delivered at the French Philosophical Society in 1978 (What is critique? Critique and Enlightenment), and another text studied by him at the Collège de France in 1983. To strengthen this study, the author translated these two texts into Arabic, along with a collection of texts and dialogues that highlight important aspects of Michel Foucault's philosophy, who is considered a prominent figure in contemporary philosophy, especially as it documents the beginning and end of his philosophical journey. These include topics on madness, society, structuralism and history, ethics and beauty, among others... The book concludes with a dialogue on (Intellectuals and Power) between Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze.
