Michel Foucault

Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, historian and social theorist who became one of the most influential intellectuals of the twentieth century. His work examined how power, knowledge and institutions shape human behaviour and identity. The Archaeology of Knowledge, available as an audiobook and book, lays out his method for analysing how discourses — systems of thought and speech — change over time. Foucault's ideas continue to challenge readers and listeners across the humanities.
