Esta obra fundamental de Michel Foucault explora la evolución de la percepción de la locura en la sociedad occidental desde el Renacimiento hasta el final del siglo XVIII. A través de un análisis histórico y filosófico, el autor examina cómo la razón y la sinrazón se separaron, dando lugar al nacimiento de la psiquiatría moderna y al confinamiento de aquellos considerados 'locos'. Publicado originalmente en 1961, este ensayo pionero es una pieza clave para entender las estructuras de poder y el control social. Esta edición de la colección BUR Supersaggi ofrece un recorrido detallado por los cambios en el tratamiento de dementes, vagabundos y criminales a lo largo de la historia clásica.
Paul-Michel Foucault was a French historian of ideas and philosopher, who was also an author, literary critic, political activist, and teacher. Foucault's theories primarily addressed the relationships between power, knowledge and liberty, and he analyzed how they are used as a form of social control through multiple institutions. Though often cited as a structuralist and postmodernist, Foucault rejected these labels and sought to critique authority without limits on himself. His thought has influenced academics within a large number of contrasting areas of study, with this especially including those working in anthropology, communication studies, criminology, cultural studies, feminism, literary theory, psychology, and sociology. His efforts against homophobia and racial prejudice as well as against other ideological doctrines have also shaped research into critical theory and Marxism–Leninism alongside other topics.
