Michel Foucault, pensador, intelectual específico y profesor universitario comprometido

Abstract

In this article we will try to approach one of the most outstanding and influential characters of the past century: Michel Foucault, Philosopher, Psychologist, Writer, Journalist and above all (university) Professor. Michel Foucault is certainly a versatile; political activist, Historian (of madness, sexuality, imprisonment and clinic), Archaeologist (of knowledge), Analyst (of discourse and power relations), Psychologist (Genealogy of subjectivity) and Philosopher (of Modernism... and Post -modernism, of Structuralism... and Post -structuralism, of power.. and the subject). These pages are and attempt to shed some light upon the "Mystery Foucault", presenting him as a thinker (Problematisation as the foucaultian method), as a intellectual (specific), as a militant (politic) and mainly as a university professor. Want we expect with this article, eventually, is to offer some keys to interpret the works of an extraordinarily fertile author in the field of education.
