A penetrating look in the "heretical and eccentric" French writer and philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984), one of the leading thinkers of May1968, was tackled in the event organized by the European Public Law Organization (EPLO) at its headquarters in Kolonaki, on December 18th.
The event was entitled "The scientific enigma: Michel Foucault" and among the speakers were: Theodoros Georgiou, professor at Democritus University of Thrace, Socrates Delivogiatzis, professor at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Spiros Makris, lecturer at University of Macedonia and Researcher at the Academy of Athens. It was chaired by the Professor of the University of Athens, Mrs. Glykeria Siouti.
The views of Foucault, who considered prisons, hospitals and lunatic asylums as places of social exclusion, attracted the interest of the audience and this was proven by the long debate that followed.
The event was held in cooperation with Sakkoulas Publications
