Abnormal: Lectures at the Collège de France, 1974-1975

In a fascinating collection of lectures delivered at the esteemed Collège de France, Michel Foucault explores the intricate concepts of abnormality and societal norms. These lectures, held during the 1974-1975 academic year, serve as an illuminating commentary on how society constructs and categorizes what is considered "normal" versus "abnormal."

Foucault's incisive analysis delves into the implications of these categorizations, examining how they shape individual identities and influence social structures. With the astute help of Graham Burchell in the presentation of these lectures, readers are invited into a thought-provoking exploration of the power dynamics at play in defining and regulating human behaviors and societal standards.
