What is "Foucault meaning"?

Foucault regarded madness as a mental illness. Foucault's defect is that he didn't see the current social system and new imprisonment being formed. Here, I would like to quote some topics unrelated to western social ambitions and introduce the ideological reality of contemporary China, thus forming a new contrast with Foucault's anxiety about madness in western ideological circles. Such a comparison may give people new enlightenment.

Early life: michel foucault was born in a rural family in poitiers on June 1926 10, and his father Paul was a physician. His original name was paul michel Foucault, but later he gave up the name Paul, which may be related to the rather tense relationship between him and his father.

Reflections on the deep structure of power;

Foucault took an active part in various social movements in the 1970s. He used his reputation to support the movement aimed at improving prisoners' human rights, and personally launched the "prison intelligence group" to collect and sort out the detailed process of the daily operation of the prison system. He signed a petition to protect the rights and interests of immigrants and refugees.

Participate in the protest March in support of prison rioters with Sartre; Adventure in Spain to protest dictator Franco's death sentence for political prisoners prompted him to think deeply about the deep structure of power and the operation of imprisonment and punishment. These thoughts constitute the whole theme of his most important book "Discipline and Punishment" in 1970s.
