Con El pensamiento del afuera, Foucault pone a punto y desarrolla uno de los temas constantes de sus el "pensar" en relación con la literatura, o mejor aún, con cierto uso del lenguaje al margen de sus modos discursivos, y el "afuera" como instancia soberana del saber y no-lugar donde la palabra literaria se desarrolla a sí misma en un espacio neutro, sin límites y sin tiempo, que no es ya el espacio clásico y cerrado de la representación.En la órbita de Las palabras y las cosas, El pensamiento del afuera es un capítulo necesario en la elaboración de esa Historia del pensamiento, que es en cierto modo toda la obra de Foucault. Nuevo punto de encuentro con Blanchot (con quien, sin embargo, no llegaría a encontrarse nunca personalmente), este texto apareció previamente en el nº 229 de "Critique" (junio de 1966) dedicado a Maurice Blanchot, cuya obra testimonia, mejor que ninguna otra, esa "experiencia del afuera" que, al hacer emerger el pensamiento nos descubre el ser mismo del lenguaje

Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, social theorist and historian of ideas. He held a chair at the Collège de France with the title "History of Systems of Thought," but before he was Professor at University of Tunis, Tunisia, and then Professor at University Paris VIII. He lectured at several different Universities over the world as at the University at Buffalo, the University of California, Berkeley and University of São Paulo, University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Foucault is best known for his critical studies of social institutions, most notably psychiatry, medicine, the human sciences and the prison system, as well as for his work on the history of human sexuality. His writings on power, knowledge, and discourse have been widely influential in academic circles. In the 1960s Foucault was associated with structuralism, a movement from which he distanced himself. Foucault also rejected the poststructuralist and postmodernist labels later attributed to him, preferring to classify his thought as a critical history of modernity rooted in Immanuel Kant. Foucault's project was particularly influenced by Nietzsche, his "genealogy of knowledge" being a direct allusion to Nietzsche's "genealogy of morality". In a late interview he definitively stated: "I am a Nietzschean." Foucault was listed as the most cited scholar in the humanities in 2007 by the ISI Web of Science.
