Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason by Michel Foucault

4.0

There is a certain degree of waywardness in Foucault's style, history slips into literary or art criticism and the section labelled 'conclusion' is anything but a conclusion to the preceding work, but this is a fascinating analysis of the interplay of madness and social constructions.
