Regarded by many as the great sociologist's masterpiece, this work explored the "archaeology of madness in the West" from the Middle Ages until 1800, tracing shifting attitudes & ... treatment of the insane. Originally published in France in 1961 as "Histoire de la Folie," & in English in 1965, this is the 1988 Vintage trade paperback edition. Pages show mild tanning to edges & there is some very faint yellow highlighting of some words/phrases on about 25% of the 299 pages, as well as a couple of brackets & marginal comments.

    This book is mad-crazy, son!

    This book has a methodical view point. Ironically it wasn't meant to be that way. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I hope you will to.

    Decartes as Polemic

    For Foucault,Descarts enmarks the forcoming of the 'ratio'. Whether man intents to construct a civilized society; and others seems to follow a way, a control path, Michael Foucault questions the truth that goes parallel to reason. If madness exist and reason can conclude to be proven, then we ought to look into those discourses that silence yells out.
