Title of the paper: Some aspects of Michel Foucault

Author or topic: Foucault, Michel

Abstract:

In this paper I have worked about some aspects of Michel Foucault such as his works, some books’ excerpts of Michel Foucault and some articles written by him.

Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, historian, intellectual, critic and sociologist. Foucault is best known for his critical studies of social institutions, most notably psychiatry, medicine, the human sciences, and the prison system, as well as for his work on the history of human sexuality. Foucault's work on power, and the relationships between power, knowledge, and discourse, has been widely discussed. In the 1960s Foucault was often associated with the structuralist movement. Foucault later distanced himself from structuralism. Though sometimes characterised as postmodernist, Foucault always rejected the post-structuralist and postmodernist labels.

Auto-evaluation: I think I have improve my work. It’s a lot better than before because I have spent many hours on it.
