"AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF MEDICAL PERCEPTION" BY M.FOUCAULT AS CRITICISM OF THE MODERN MEDICAL DISCOURSE
The analysis of the phenomenon of ‘the birth of the clinic' is attempted in this article. It deals not only with the change in the medical practice but in physician's thinking. Now separate organs of the human body are cured, not a human being on the whole. The author shows that a special perception of a patient is structured during one or the other period of time. The latter is analyzed on the basis of the works by Michel Faucault.
