10 reviews for The Heart of the Matter

  1. Rajarshi Chanda

    I had high expectations, but I was ultimately disappointed. I struggled to connect with the material, and the arguments felt somewhat dated. The book isn’t particularly engaging.

  2. Jaiya Deswal

    Dense and difficult to follow at times. I think you should have some background information regarding the subject before starting this book for better understanding. Still valuable if you persist.

  3. Sonal Singh

    While the ideas are fascinating, I found the writing style incredibly dry. It took me a while to get through. I feel like the core message got diluted due to overly complex language.

  4. Manas Charan Khare

    Changed the way I view the world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the hidden structures of power that shape our lives. Highly recommend this book!

  5. Navneet Kumar

    Absolutely mind-blowing! Foucault’s insights into power dynamics are as relevant today as ever. This book really made me think about the world in a whole new way.

  6. Samyak Daheshwar Gajbhiye

    An important, though sometimes frustrating, read. Foucault’s ideas are complex and require careful consideration. It can feel overwhelming, but the insights are rewarding.

  7. Nipun Sharma

    Some really interesting ideas are presented, though the book meanders a bit and could have been more concise. Not an easy read, but worth the effort.

  8. Sindhu Raj

    A brilliant and thought-provoking exploration of power and knowledge. Foucault’s analysis is sharp and insightful, offering a new perspective on social issues. Highly recommended.

  9. Harsh Hemnani

    A good introduction to Foucault’s work, but definitely not for beginners. Some prior knowledge of philosophy or social theory would be beneficial. I would recommend this book.

  10. Ayush Gupta

    Foucault is always a challenge, but this collection was more accessible than I expected. Some essays were denser than others. Overall, a worthwhile read for serious students of social theory.
