In this seminal work, Michel Foucault analyzes the birth of the prison and the evolution of punishment systems from the 18th century to modernity. The author explores how societies have shifted from inflicting physical punishment on bodies to implementing mechanisms of control, surveillance, and discipline designed to shape human behavior in institutions such as hospitals, schools, and barracks.
Through a profound historical and philosophical analysis, Foucault unravels the "social orthopedics" that define modernity, questioning the power structures underlying our institutions. It is an essential read for understanding the relationship between knowledge, power, and social control in the contemporary world.
