Timothy O’Leary teaches Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong. He has published widely on Foucault, especially in relation to ethics and literature. He is the author of Foucault and the Art of Ethics (2002, 2006) and Foucault and Fiction: The Experience Book (2009).
Christopher Falzon is a lecturer in Philosophy at The University of Newcastle. He is the author of Foucault and Social Dialogue (1998) and Philosophy Goes to the Movies (2002).

"As a whole the volume on Foucault's relation to philosophy is a fascinating contribution to the vast literature on his work. Although the papers within the volume were somewhat short, they open up many divergent areas of potential research for the future." (Metapsychology Online, January 2011)
"Was it important that Michel Foucault thought philosophically? That among his major partners in reflection were Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Habermas? That Foucault's experiments in thought intersected with analyses of subjectivity, theories of knowledge, philosophies of experience? The outstanding contributions to this volume respond to these questions by leading its readers into an excavation of Foucault's philosophical curiosity and his unfinished road map to the good life."
—James Bernauer, Boston College
