Michel Foucault’s writings announce not only that God is dead, but also that man is dying. He interrogates objects deemed unworthy that have never been taken into account by philosophy. These include crime, madness, sexuality, the excesses of literature and evil. He offers an extraordinary history. Instead of understanding our societies by what they ex hibe, Foucault insists on what they conceal, in order to detect a new image, another photograph of our values. This short essay gives us an insight into a complex thinker and a philosophy that demolishes the idols of modernity with a hammer.
