Features: In this book, we can very clearly see Foucault's consistent critical spirit, his questioning of the existing order and knowledge systems. In fact, the abnormal has not disappeared due to the failure of Nazism; it remains an object of a series of power technologies and knowledge. When a psychiatrist appears in court to give an evaluation, through meticulous analysis, the dynamics and various strategies of historical development are gradually restored before our eyes.
