With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern sciences of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of meaning and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths.

An "introduction to the nonfascist life" (Michel Foucault, from the Preface) When it first appeared in France, Anti-Oedipus was hailed as a masterpiece by some and "a work of heretical madness" by others. In it, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari set forth the following theory: Western society's...

Überwachen und Strafen. Die Geburt des Gefängnisses schließt an Foucaults Bücher über die »Geburt« der Klinik und des Irrenhauses an: Es zeichnet die Frühentwicklung einer anderen totalen Institution nach, die für die liberale bürgerliche Gesellschaft eine mindestens ebensolche definitorische Macht gewann wie das Irrenhaus. Diese Entwicklung beginnt, nicht unabhängig von einigen großen Justizskandalen, um die Wende des 18. zum 19. Jahrhundert, als sich die »Ökonomie der Züchtigung« revolutionierte.
