Michel Foucault

Personality Profile

Michel Foucault - a French philosopher, historian of ideas, social theorist, philologist and literary critic, whose theories addressed the relationship between power and knowledge, and how they are used as a form of social control through societal institutions - born on Friday October 15th 1926, in Poitiers, France.

Michel Foucault has a compelling sense of himself as a spiritual being who is the searcher and the seeker of truth. That said, Michel's life is devoted to investigations into the unknown, and finding the answers to the mysteries of life. Monumental as it is, Foucault is well-equipped to handle his mission. He enjoys a fine mind, and is an analytical thinker, capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. Michel Foucault enjoys research, and putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together, and once he has enough pieces in place, Michel is capable of highly creative insight and practical solutions to problems.

Michel Foucault enjoys his solitude and prefers to work alone. He needs time to contemplate his ideas without the intrusion of other people's thoughts. He is a lone wolf and a person who lives by his own ideas and methods. As a result, close associations are difficult for Michel to form and keep, especially marriage. Foucault needs his space and privacy, which, when violated, can cause him great frustration and irritation.

When his life is balanced, however, Michel Foucault is both charming and attractive. He can be the life of a party, and enjoy performing before an audience. Michel loves displaying his wit and knowledge, which makes him attractive to others, especially the opposite sex. It should just be remembered that because he associates peace with the unobtrusive privacy of his world, intimacy is difficult for Michel Foucault. It is Foucault's challenge to avoid shutting out the love of others and keeping him from experiencing the true joy of friendship and close companionship.

With his abilities to learn, analyze, and seek out answers to life's important questions, Michel Foucault has the potential for enormous growth and success in life. By the time he reaches middle age, Michel will radiate refinement and wisdom. More...

There is danger, however that his trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Michel cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for him to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.

Patient as he is towards his goals, Michel's flying, ravaging temper endangers his relationships with the very same people that will help him to accomplish those goals. He should use his strength of will to study and practice anger management.
