Features: This book aims to discuss the historical relationship between the modern soul and a new form of judicial power, as well as the genealogy of the current scientific-legal. Within this, punitive power has acquired its own foundation, proof, and rules, expanded its effects, and concealed its extraordinary uniqueness through this. If this means writing a history of the present, that is where my interest lies. Among the philosophers of my generation who diagnose our era, Foucault has had the most enduring influence on the spirit of the times.
