At the time of his death from complications of AIDS in 1984, Michel Foucault was considered one of the 20th century’s most influential intellectuals and philosophers. His work forever changed our understanding of sanity, sexuality, morality, and crime. And yet his life concealed a personal secret that might explain how he first arrived at his profound realizations about society. This secret is finally exposed to light in Foucault in Warsaw – a new book by Remigiusz Ryziński, a writer, gender studies scholar, and professor of philosophy at the University of Warsaw.
