Michel Foucault
Definition
- Michel Paul Foucault (1926–1984), social historian, philosopher, psychologist, and political activist, was one of the most original of the post–World War II French social theorists. Though Foucault is commonly considered a post-modern or poststructuralist, he was an independent thinker, whose writings cannot be easily classified.
