Abstract

The French intellectual Michel Foucault describes how the concept of madness has developed over time and how it has integrated into the social and pedagogical order of Western society transforming the person into an excluded individual deprived of his freedom. He dealt with the development of modern psychiatry and the history of prison. He found no positive development or an increase in reasonableness, but only a change marked by rupture in the context of contingent and time-bound constructs
