Summary: Foucault for analytic philosophers
Comment: Ever try to stick a square peg in a round hole? Well Prado pulls it off marvelously in this excellent book on Foucault's genealogy. With a constant eye on the mind-set and objections of analytic philosophers Prado slowly and very convincingly details Foucault's problematic (principally in Discipline and Punish and the History of Sexuality). He ends the book with a long discussion of the various senses of truth in Foucault's work, and thoughtfully treats the problem of Foucault's relativism. Even if you're a Foucault enthusiast who's read a stack of other commentaries, Prado's style is so clear, direct, and accomodating that you're sure to walk away with a better take on Foucault's thought as a whole. Buy it.

Summary: A fine contribution to the secondary litterature on Foucault
Comment: I agree with the above reviewer from Ontario. De Prado has did it well, and formulated an understanding of Foucault which enhanced my own.

Summary: An excellent introduction to Foucault's philosophy
Comment: Foucault is not an easy philosopher to grasp, especially out of context. Prado does an excellent job placing Foucault's middle (or genealogical) works in the context of Foucault's other writings, as well as in the context of modern philosophy. For readers new to Foucault, Prado's book is an enviable introduction. For those already familiar with the philosopher, Prado's own take on Foucault is both insightful and thought-provoking. I highly recommend the book.
