Michel Foucault was born in Poitiers, France in 1926. The son of a doctor, Michel Foucault went against his family's wishes by not following in his father's footsteps. Rather than pursuing a career in medicine as was expected of him, Michel studied philosophy and psychology at France's top university, École Normale Supérieure. It was here that Foucault met his teacher, Louis Althusser, who, in 1950, convinced Michel to join the Communist Party. Michel cut his ties to the Communist Party only three years later (Simon 1469).

  • Michel Foucault was born in Poitiers, France in 1926. The son of a doctor, Michel Foucault went against his family's wishes by not following in his father's footsteps. Rather than pursuing a career in medicine as was expected of him, Michel studied philosophy and psychology at France's top university, École Normale Supérieure. It was here that Foucault met his teacher, Louis Althusser, who, in 1950, convinced Michel to join the Communist Party. Michel cut his ties to the Communist Party only three years later (Simon 1469). In 1960, Foucault published his first book, Folie et deraison, originally his graduate thesis. In 1961, the work was translated, in part, into English under the title Madness and Civilization. This was soon followed, in 1963, by his second book, The Birth of the Clinic, which, like its predecessor, heavily criticized modern medical institutions (Simon 1469). Foucault's 1966 work translated as, The Order of Things, earned him reputation and renown in intellectual circles and made his career.
