In this video, we go to one of the most famous French philosophers of the 20th century, Michel Foucault, and examine some of his theories. We talk about Nietzsche's influence on Foucault and then examine Foucault's criticism of the power structure in bourgeois culture in capitalist societies. Then, referring to Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon prison, we talk about the impact of punishment and modern prisons on the self-suppression of people in modern societies. #MichelFoucault #Michel_Foucault #Philosophy
