Michel Foucault has profoundly transformed the intellectual landscape through his critical studies of all human sciences. By confronting psychiatry, medicine, philosophy, law, psychology and history with an archaeology and genealogy of power-knowledge that "founds" these disciplines, the philosopher problematizes what we so often believe is "self-evident": the confinement of madness, the "truth", the very value of language, sexual "norms", the treatment of crime... No area of our social life escapes his thought, even the requirement of a renewed ethics. It is a clear, precise and accessible presentation of his work that is proposed here.
