Аннотация
The article analyzes Michel Foucault’s philosophical ideas
on Western medicine and delves into three main insights that the French
philosopher developed to expose the presence of power behind the veil of
the conventional experience of medicine. These insights probe the powerdisciplining
function of psychiatry, the administrative function of medical
institutions, and the role of social medicine in the administrative and political
system of Western society. Foucault arrived at these views by way of
his intense interest in three elements of the medical system that arose almost
simultaneously at the end of the 18th century: psychiatry as “medicine
for mental illness”, the hospital as the first and most well-known type
of medical institution, and social medicine as a type of medical knowledge
focused more on the protection of society and far less on caring for the individual.
All the issues Foucault wrote about stemmed from his personal
and professional sensitivity to the problems of power and were a part of the
“medical turn” in the social and human sciences that occurred in the West
in the 1960s and 1970s and led to the emergence of medical humanities.
The article argues that Foucault’s histories of the power of medical
knowledge were philosophical histories of Western medicine. Foucault always
used facts, dates, and names in an attempt to identify some of the
general tendencies and patterns in the development of Western medicine
and to reveal usually undisclosed mechanisms for managing individuals
and populations. Those mechanisms underlie the practice of providing assistance,
be it the “moral treatment” practiced by psychiatrists before the
advent of effective medication, or treating patients as “clinical cases” in
hospitals, or hospitalization campaigns that were considered an effective
“technological safeguard ” in the 18th and most of the 19th century.
