Michel Foucault (b.1926)

As dusk settles and the world quiets, we drift into the labyrinthine intellect of Michel Foucault, exploring how shadows of power and whispers of knowledge shape the fusion of society. From the solitary confinements of madness to the penetrating scrutiny of the medical gaze, Foucaults thoughts weave through the delicate fabric of our cultural and historical constructs. In the soft, fading light, his words challenge the boundaries of what we accept as normal, inviting us to reconsider the unseen forces that govern our lives. Let us unravel these threads together, finding comfort in the complexity of thought as night embraces us in its gentle hold.This episode is hosted by William Davis.
