Mental Illness and Personality (1954) - Michel Foucault's first book It is in it that the origins of his work are found, and also contains a sketch of the genealogy of insanity, which in seven years will form the basis of the “History of Madness in the Classical Era” .. In this work, the early Foucault, not familiar to the Russian-speaking reader, is not yet a post-structuralist, and not even a structuralist, but a phenomenologist. This is a book that Foucault himself preferred not to talk about, forbade reprinting, and unfairly denied her the status of his first work. The text is provided with a research introduction, a detailed commentary and an appendix showing the discrepancies between the first and second editions. The book is addressed to philosophers, psychologists, psychiatrists, as well as anyone interested in the problems of modern humanitarian science. http://fb2. traumlibrary. net
