Review

"Illuminating...must be reckoned with by humanists, social scientists, and political activists."

Publisher's note

In this brilliant work, the most influential philosopher since Sartre suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.

Annotation

A history of the development of the science of penology in the West. Foucault, a celebrated French scholar and former professor at the College de France, examines the shift in Western attitudes towards criminal justice and punishment, tracing their shift from an emphasis upon divine justice and retribution in the Middle Ages to the faith in rehabilitation that reached its height in the 19th and early-20th centuries.
