Librarian note: an alternate cover for this edition can be found here. In the eighteenth century, medicine underwent a mutation. For the first time, medical knowledge took on a precision that had formerly belonged only to mathematics. The body became something that could be mapped. Disease became subject to new rules of classification. And doctors begin to describe phenomena that for centuries had remained below the threshold of the visible and expressible. In The Birth of the Clinic the philosopher and intellectual historian who may be the true heir to Nietzsche charts this dramatic transformation of medical knowledge. As in his classic Madness and Civilization, Michel Foucault shows how much what we think of as pure science owes to social and cultural attitudes — in this case, to the climate of the French Revolution. Brilliant, provocative, and omnivorously learned, his book sheds new light on the origins of our current notions of health and sickness, life and death.

V knihe Dozerať a trestať si Michel Foucault s veľkou naliehavosťou postavil otázky, ktoré ho zamestnávali po celý život: Čo sa to teraz v spoločnosti odohráva? Aký je tento svet, táto doba, práve tento okamih, ktorý žijeme? Čo sme my, občania modernej spoločnosti? Položil tieto otázky v súvislosti s metódami, mechanizmami a inštitúciami, ktoré v našej spoločnosti zabezpečujú trestanie a nápravu indivíduí, čo porušili zákon. Moderná spoločnosť sa obyčajne honosí humanizáciou trestania a rada poukazuje na to, že svojvôľu monarchického mučenia nahradila princípmi zákonnosti a nápravy. Foucault však odhaľuje, že pod plášťom humanizácie sa v nej v skutočnosti odohral prechod k disciplinovanosti a kontrole. (text z obálka) Slovenský preklad Miroslav Marcelli....
