Résumé :
|
Michel Foucault can be counted as one of the greatest thinkers of twentieth century, his intellectual influence crossing over well into the twenty-first. His books, The Order of Things, Discpline and Punish, The Archeology of Knowledge, The Birth of the Clinic, Madness and Civilisaion or the four- volume History of Sexuality have enlightened us on the relations between power and knowledge, on society's treatment of the insane, on the system of controls in the instution of hospital and on many such fascinating as well as deeply disturbing aspects of what we know as the modern world.
