Foucault: His Thought, His Character
"Paul Veyne's quirky and involving book is an idiosyncratic and personal tribute, which is obviously, and movingly, deeply felt."The Philosophers' Magazine"Foucault is well- known as one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Writing from his profound knowledge of the man, Paul Veyne here vividly brings out his character and personality."Geoffrey Lloyd,University of Cambridge"It is fascinating to follow Paul Veyne’s engagement with Foucault: he was extremely close to Foucault, as the celebrated history of sexuality developed as a project, and this essay, which mixes reminiscences with argument and reflection, captures a real flavour of the  intellectual excitement of those times."Simon Goldhill,University of Cambridge
