His early writings on psychology, psychopathology, and anthropology have been dismissed as immature. However, recently discovered manuscripts from the mid-1950s, when Foucault was a lecturer at the University of Lille, testify to the significance of the work that the philosopher produced in the years leading up to the \"archaeological\" project he launched with \u003cem\u003eHistory of Madness\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElisabetta Basso offers a groundbreaking and in-depth analysis of Foucault's Lille manuscripts that sheds new light on the origins of his philosophical project.
