By aligning his thought with the challenge to Kantian philosophy from mathematics and science in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he shows how Foucault established his own perspective on the future of critical philosophy.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483357225333,"sku":"9781399567619","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"town-and-country-planning-in-the-uk","title":"Town and Country Planning in the UK","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides one of the most authoritative and comprehensive accounts of British planning history, institutions, legislation, policies, processes and practices, supported by analyses, interpretations, illustrations, and examples from planning practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483559141749,"sku":"9781032274584","price":60.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032274584.jpg?v=1786178742"},{"product_id":"thinking-about-suicide","title":"Thinking About Suicide","description":"The literature of suicidology has studiously ignored those who actually experience suicidal feelings.
