An important personage in my field

Hello, I´m writing my third note in this blog! Today I´m going to talk you about an important personage in my field for me: Michel Foucault ( Remember: I study Psychology ) An I really like this topic because I think He was an important french philosopher and great psychologist.

Michel Foucault was born in Poitiers on October 15th, 1926 and he died in Paris on June 25th , 1984. He went to a jesuit college, and then he studied philosophy and psychology in the Escuela Normal Superior de Paris.

Foucault was a member of the French Communist party, between 1950 and 1953. And took part in many social projects dedicated to different areas of the humanities.

He is known principally by his critical studies of the social instutions, especially the psychiatry, medicine, the human sciencies and the systems of prison.

Well, definitively, I believe that he was an amazing and great man, He contributed so much to the society...
