More than 250 years ago, Robert-Francois Damien, who attempted to assassinate King Louis XV, was quartered on the Place de Grève in Paris. - the description of his monstrous execution begins "Supervise and Punish" - one of the most revolutionary books on modern theory of society. The bloody performance of the execution allows Foucault to demonstrate the differences between individual violence and the violence of the state and show how, over time, the main object of state control is not the body, but the soul of the criminal. The evolution of methods of supervision and punishment is gradually turning gross state violence into the most complex mechanism of total biopower, enveloping modern man in his daily life and forming a society of total control.
