    January 27, 2002: This book has a methodical view point. Ironically it wasn't meant to be that way. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I hope you will to.

    October 20, 2000: For Foucault,Descarts enmarks the forcoming of the 'ratio'. Whether man intents to construct a civilized society; and others seems to follow a way, a control path, Michael Foucault questions the truth that goes parallel to reason. If madness exist and reason can conclude to be proven, then we ought to look into those discourses that silence yells out.
