Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Paris: Plon, 1964. First reprint, second printing (8600 copies) of the 1961 first edition. Printed wraps in orange and black dust jacket, as issued. Errata slip laid in, in rear. 672 pages, with appendix and bibliography. 8 pages of ads in rear. Very light stain at head (affecting nothing) closed tears and crease at dust jacket head. Else good+. Pages 205-636 are uncut. Based on his thesis (first read by Dumezil and Hyyppolite), this is Foucault's culture-breaking examination of the meaning of madness in the cultures and laws, politics, philosophy, and medicine of Europeâ_x0080__x0094_from the Middle Ages until the end of the 18th centuryâ_x0080__x0094_and a critique of the idea of history and of the historical method. It was his first major work, originating in his academic study of psychology, his work in a Parisian mental hospital, and his own personal psychological problems. "History of Madness is formed from both Foucaultâ_x0080__x0099_s extensive archival work and his intense anger at what he saw as the moral hypocrisy of modern psychiatry. He argued that the alleged scientific neutrality of modern medical treatments of insanity are in fact covers for controlling challenges to conventional bourgeois morality. In short, Foucault argued that what was presented as an objective, incontrovertible scientific discovery (that madness is mental illness) was in fact the product of eminently questionable social and ethical commitments".
