Madness: The Invention of an Idea – The First Exploration of Insanity as a Social Construct and Critical Break from Freud (Harper Perennial Modern Thought)

Michel Foucaultâ€™s first exploration of insanity as a social constructâ€”and his debut work of criticism, published nearly a decade before Madness and Civilizationâ€”Madness offers an invaluable lens through which to observe the seminal social criticâ€™s philosophical evolution. Previously published as Mental Illness and Psychology, this exciting and accessible new edition offers unique insight into both Foucaultâ€™s early engagement with the psychoanalytic tradition and his critical break from Freud, giving readers a crucial look at the thinking that prefigured The History of Sexuality, The Archeology of Knowledge, and more.
