Michel Foucault
Michel Foucault (1926-1984) was a French philosopher and historian who revolutionized how we understand power, knowledge, and social control. Unlike traditional thinkers who focused on obvious forms of power like government or military force, Foucault examined the subtle, everyday mechanisms that shape how we think, act, and see ourselves, the things that make us into who we believe ourselves to be, and who we actually are.
