Foucault/Discipline & Punish
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes the later part of Foucault's landmark text. The writer argues that when Foucault arrives at the transition from the classical to the modern period in the nineteenth century, he argues persuasively that the modern prison system evolved out of a modern concern for the soul of deviant citizens, as well as control over their bodies. In other words, the focus of power now takes on a disciplinary quality designed to normalize the inmate, as well as provide punishment. No additional sources cited.

Francis Bacon/The Four Idols
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that examines the "four idols" proposed by the seventeenth century philosopher Francis Bacon. In this work, Bacon described the intellectual fallacies of his era under four headings, which he referred to as "idols." An idol is understood to be an image, in this case held in the mind, which receives veneration, but is without any substance in itself – a "false god." The writer argues that while Bacon was writing for his own time, his genius for analytical observation of human behavior makes his comments still relevant to modern behavior. No additional sources cited.
