Discussion On Foucault's Cultural Thought

After the modern culture theory's earlier worker, Foucault not only creatively has utilized the archaeology and the genealogy research technique, but also denied the integrity culture. He has done many kinds of cultural subject research.. He believed that the main body the modern people have is only one modern invention. It just appeared less than 200 years and it will vanish in future. The knowledge does not the objective truth as people believed, it is not neutral but is one kind of artificial construction. Therefore it has carried on the function of division and separation. The authority is not a kind of suppresive tool. It is scattered, indefinite, diverse and self-productive. It is not independent. It comes from all kinds of relationships. It is from the lower class. It manifests in people's daily life and its main manifestations are the timetable, the class schedule, the factory and the barracks'rules and regulations, the discipline and so on.Foucault‵s cultural thought has the significant theory and the practice significance, but also has certain flaw.
