Books by Professor Joseph J. Tanke

Offers an introduction to one of the most influential French thinkers, exploring Ranciere's ideas on philosophy, aesthetics, and politics. This book explains how Ranciere's ideas allow us to understand art as having a deeper social role than is customarily assigned to it, as well as how political opposition can be revitalized.

Part of "The Philosophy, Aesthetics and Cultural Theory" series, this book offers an examination of Foucault's reflections on visual art. It traces his thought as it engages with the work of visual artists from the seventeenth century to the contemporary period.
