Album explores Foucault's philosophy

An album by Paul Auer and Benoît Schupp explores the work of philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984) through various testimonies, quotations, and excerpts from interviews. The project was undertaken on the occasion of the centenary of Foucault's birth.

Album title and publisher

The album, titled Foucault. Parallel Lives, was published by Delcourt. It aims to make complex philosophical ideas accessible to the general public.

Visual approach to philosophy

The work attempts to present complex philosophical ideas in a format accessible to the general public through the use of comic book imagery and dialogue bubbles. The article notes that certain intellectual constructions, including Foucault's work, are considered difficult to represent in visual form.

Additional centenary release

Another album was also released as part of the centenary celebrations, though details about this second album are not provided.
