Reviews
Louis Sass, author of Madness and Modernism: Insanity in the Light of Modern Art, Literature, and Thought:
In this richly researched and highly original book, Elisabetta Basso offers a fascinating account of the earliest Foucault. She explores not only the depth of the young philosopher’s preoccupation with phenomenological and existential psychiatry but also the decisive role this early interest played in shaping the later, historical work that was to make him famous.

François Ewald, general editor of Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France:
Basso provides a true archaeology of the first steps of Foucault’s project. With historical depth and theoretical insight, this book offers a groundbreaking approach to a long-unknown aspect of Foucault’s early thought. Young Foucault will be an indispensable companion for all readers interested in Foucault’s work and life.
