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.

評分“瘋癲不是一種自然現象,而是一種文明産物。”米歇爾•福柯如是說。 作為一種社會現象,在我們意識到這一切是如何發生以前,瘋癲已被貼上羞恥的劣等的疾病標簽,遭到健全理智主宰的現代世界的無情驅逐,於理性之光無法照耀的永夜,沉默著悲歡。而文化現象中的瘋癲,卻如尼...

評分福柯的鑰匙 一次要感謝無規可循的閱讀,在各種後現代理論著作被大量翻譯引進之際,在福柯被如日中天地炒作,“人之死”,“解構”,“身體—權力”等字眼以瘋癲的頻率齣現於各種大報小刊之時,我幸運的讀到瞭這本《瘋癲與文明》。據說,在福柯這顆20世紀最偉大的頭腦中産生瞭...
評分扉頁上,福柯創作這篇作品也就是他的博士論文是在一九六四年左右,在當時幾經修改齣現瞭縮寫本,也就是我們現在看到的《瘋癲與文明---理性時代的瘋癲史》並且廣受好評。要瞭解福柯的思想或者做一個全麵的概括的提升是不可能的,這本書我看過兩遍,看完仍舊在很多地方都認識的模...
