Michel Foucault
Michel Foucault (1926–1984) was a French historian and philosopher associated with structuralist and post-structuralist movements who became one of the most influential French thinkers of the post-World War II period. His major works, including The History of Madness (1961), The Order of Things (1966), and Discipline and Punish (1975), examined the history of knowledge, power relations, and modern institutions like prisons and psychiatry. He spent his career critiquing how power operates through modern systems of classification and control.
