Title: Discipline & Punish Pdf The Birth of the Prison
Published Date: 1995

Text: English (translation) Original Language: French Michel Foucault was born in Poitiers, France, in 1926. He lecturerd in universities throughout the world; served as director at the Institut Francais in Hamburg, Germany and at the Institut de Philosophi at the Faculte des Lettres in the University of Clermont-Ferrand, France; and wrote frequently for French newspapers and reviews. At the time of his death in 1984, he held a chair at France's most prestigious institutions, the College de France.

In this brilliant work, the most influential philosopher since Sartre suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.

This was made in the 1960s. The one direction continues and please read the quote It's an interesting book. The type of one that makes one realize we are worse off then ever if people would bother reading these things or even considering these thing. Quotes like these one are worth paying attention too, its a good example of how the elite view the masses. I found this interesting pg. 102-103 for the interested reader."When you have thus formed the CHAIN OF IDEAS IN THE HEADS OF YOUR CITIZENS, you will then be able to PRIDE YOURSELVES ON GUIDING THEM AND BEING THEIR MASTERS. A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas; it is at the stable point of reason that he secures the end of the chain; this link is all the stronger in what we do not know of what it is made and we believe it to be our own work; despair and time eat away the bonds of iron and steel; but they are powerless against the habitual union of ideas; they can only tighten it still more; and on the soft fibers of the brain is founded the unshakable base of the soundest of Empires (103) More or less nothing is true and everything is permitted appears to be the mindset. Quotes like these one were written centuries before and I can't imagine what's been dreamed up, accept I suspect people will continue moving in the one direction, not questioning anything, and just following as usual. Throw technology into the mix and you can be responsible for dooming future generations permanently, probably at the higher levels it becomes sillier, why would they believe in something that they themselves made up, an idea that came from their own head, to control others.It's quotes like these that show more of the secret and oh so wonderful aspects of the human race. It's all rather disappointing in my eyes. The book itself is an interesting read, but Foucault has a tendency of making me rather depressed when I read his work. However, his goal in a Nietzschean way was to use his own works to transform himself. So good read and he's rather outdated now, we've had another 60+ years in a way to continue the process of control we can see it 10X amplified. Until people stop believing in ideas or following along there won't be any change. It would be more like an exodus, sillier when educated men most of them knowing metaphysics sat down and made up a Declaration of Independence, not that anyone knows the foundations or what it was taken from or built upon, again all ideas. I think the end goal is a genetically bred drone class to an elite in a technological controlled world, worse then the Panopticon or more of a communal telepathic world where everyone, thinks, acts, and does the same thing, but still just as controlled.So a good book for the interested reader willing to uncover more.Foucault is actually entertaining ... Having previously delved into other 20th century French “philosophes” such as Lacan and Derrida, and finding them pretentious and unreadable, I was for a long time reluctant to make the acquaintance of Foucault. While I continue to harbor doubts about the historical accuracy of this work, it is nonetheless a remarkable tour-de-force of the evolving role of punishment in society since the times of the French ancien régime. Its analysis of the relationship between schools, factories, and prisons remains remarkably relevant to an understanding of the manner in which human beings are surveilled, disciplined, and punished in modern western societies. It brings a necessary dose of realism to the misleading discourse on “freedom” and “values” that dominates public debate. While it is at times hard to take Foucault “literally”, his good humor and energy make this work not only enlightening but entertaining.Illuminating The author describes in great detail the many steps that have been taken over many centuries by those in power to manipulate, control, terrify, quantify, observe, categorize and cajole humanity into manageable pigeonhole dwelling "units". It makes you want to immediately read Thoreau.
