Post 4: Someone I would like to meet

One of the people that I would have liked to meet is Michel Foucault. I mean, not truly meet him, but attend to his class.

Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, and "historian of idea", among other things.
I don`t know much about his personality, but I think he was a social person because -as he was a teacher too- in his class he complained about his own class because nobody went to talk to him or discuss at the end of the class.

One of the thing what admire of Michel Foucault is his book: Watch and punish. I think I like it because this study shows an historical process the separation among the good people (who opress) and bad people (who are opressed). In particular, this book shows the change between the open punishment and the private confinement (in jail, where nobody sees).

One of the most importan contributions was (and is, at present) his critical study about different institution, like the mental hospital, the prison, the human science, the sexuality, etc. In this study he explains how these institution exercise control over the people, who are subjects because they are "restrain" by a power. In summary, he questioned the traditional ideas of the reason.
