«Historia de la locura en la época clásica» is the essay by Michel Foucault published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in paperback (988 pages, in Spanish).
Foucault examines how the West has perceived, classified and confined those it considers mad, from the Middle Ages to the classical age. He surveys institutions, medical knowledge and cultural representations that link madness to reason, power and social exclusion, and vindicates its critical and creative force.
The work belongs to the Breviarios collection of Fondo de Cultura Económica and consists of two volumes (I and II). It was originally published in France in 1961.
For readers of philosophy, history and social sciences; may also interest students of psychology and psychiatry.
