Michel Foucault
Routledge
2006
At the start of this text is a recommendation by R. D. Laing, a founder of the anti-psychiatry school. Laing states:
"... brilliantly written, intellectually rigourous, and with a thesis that thoroughly shelves the assumptions of traditional psychiatry."
As I will later illustrate, Mr. Laing is being somewhat exuberant in his praise. Talking of exuberance, the introduction carries this quote from Georges Dumézil: "Foucault's intelligence literally knows no bounds."
