Discipline and Punish

His analysis of discipline and surveillance feels even more relevant now with social media and data tracking. I wonder what insights he might have on our current digital age.

Foucault’s tracing of punishment from public spectacle to internalized discipline made me think about how society’s methods of control have changed. Were there moments that made you rethink your views on authority?

His linking of discipline, knowledge, and power was complex but compelling. I’m curious whether his background in history or philosophy shaped this perspective most strongly.
