A full translation titled The History of Madness has was published by Routledge in 2006. It was Foucault's 1st major book, mostly written while he was the Director of the Maison de France in Sweden. It examines ideas, practices, institutions, art & literature relating to madness in Western history. Foucault's history begins in the Middle Ages, noting the social & physical exclusion of lepers. With leprosy's gradual disappearance, madness came to occupy the excluded position. The ship of fools in the 15th century is a literary version of one exclusionary practice, that of sending mad people away in ships. In 17th century Europe, in a movement famously described as the Great Confinement, unreasonable persons were locked away in institutions. In the 18th century, madness came to be seen as the reverse of Reason, & in the 19th century as mental illness. Foucault argues madness was silenced by Reason, losing its power to signify the limits of social order & to point to the truth. He examines the rise of scientific & humanitarian treatments of the insane, notably at the hands of Philippe Pinel & Samuel Tuke who started conceptualizing madness as mental illness. He claims these new treatments were no less controlling than previous methods. Pinel's treatments amounted to extended aversion therapy, including such treatments as freezing showers & straitjackets. This treatment amounted to repeated brutality until the pattern of judgment & punishment was internalized. 756961 1961 Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason total:1204|5:396|4:493|3:265|2:36|1:14| 1204 4833 2031 70 0 6 false false Mon Aug 11 04:33:35 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 14:04:50 -0700 2008 A last question remains: In the name of what can this fundamental language be regarded as a delirium?
