Michel Foucault
Michel Foucault was a prominent French philosopher and social theorist, renowned for his analyses of power, knowledge, and social institutions. His works, including 'Discipline and Punish' and 'The History of Sexuality,' examine the ways in which power operates within society, shaping individuals' behaviors and identities. Foucault’s concept of biopower, which explores the regulation of populations through various institutions, has been particularly influential in contemporary social theory. His interdisciplinary approach has left a lasting impact on fields such as sociology, cultural studies, and critical theory.
