Subject(s): Summary: The main part of this book is an English translation of a series of lectures given by France's foremost philosopher of the 1970s and 1980s. In them he first expounds the concept of bio-power by which he meant human self awareness as a species and the growth of political power, but in later lectures this is almost completely supplanted by notions of the evolution of government and the power of the state.
