Abstract
Michel Foucault is one of the most influential, and also most controversial, social thinkers of the century. His work represents a sustained effort to reconstruct the way in which the specifically modern Western form of subjectivity has become what it is through the institutionalization of techniques of self and practices of truth-telling, and the will to truth and knowledge.
