When it was first published in France in 1961 as Folie et Déraison: Histoire de la Folie à l'âge Classique, few had heard of a thirty-four year old philosopher by the name of Michel Foucault. By the time an abridged English edition was published in 1967 as Madness and Civilization, Michel Foucault had shaken the intellectual world.

.

This translation is the first English edition of the complete French texts of the first and second edition, including all prefaces and appendices, some of them unavailable in the existing French edition.

.

History of Madness begins in the Middle Ages with vivid descriptions of the exclusion and confinement of lepers. Why, Foucault asks, when the leper houses were emptied at the end of the Middle Ages, were they turned into places of confinement for the mad? Why, within the space of several months in 1656, was one out of every hundred people in Paris confined?

.

Shifting brilliantly from Descartes and early Enlightenment thought to the founding of the Hôpital Général in Paris and the work of early psychiatrists Philippe Pinel and Samuel Tuke, Foucault focuses throughout, not only on scientific and medical analyses of madness, but also on the philosophical and cultural values attached to the mad. He also urges us to recognize the creative and liberating forces that madness represents, brilliantly drawing on examples from Goya, Nietzsche, Van Gogh and Artaud.

.

The History of Madness is an inspiring and classic work that challenges us to understand madness, reason and power and the forces that shape them.

福柯于1961年发表的博士论文《疯癫和文明》是他的第一部著作，由此开始他关于理性与系谱学的探索。在这部书中他向我们指出：我们现有的关于疯癫的知识都是理性的噪音，真正的疯癫在缄默。本文是该书的学习笔记，旨在综述福柯关于理性、非理性与疯癫的关系、疯癫的话语与权力的...

absolutely ambitious and great interpretation. a mad man could never talk to a modern man under this 'ratioanlized' world-the saddest thing ever.
