In this paper,comprehensively analyzes the social and historical background,sources of thought and theory,and main contents of Michel Foucault's madness theory,and summarizes and summarizes the value and significance of he's madness theory.Michel Foucault believes that the madness that once served as the subject has been examined and dominated by the rational power structure,and it has been confined to a single definition of medicine.Madness no longer has its own truth and becomes invisible to the medical profession.Objective object.Through combing the process of crazy alienation and the final formation of crazy object status,we come to a critical conclusion: modern psychology and modern rationality centered on positivism cannot explain or understand the truth of madness.Taking this as an opportunity to start from the madness theory,Foucault formed a comprehensive understanding of the modernity through the "Madness History of Classical Times.“Foucault reveals the micro-power relations that are not valued or even ignored in the historical process through the way of telling history,evoking people's attention to the hidden and repressed heterogeneous factors in social culture and paying attention to the differences in the process of social history and individuality.
