Abstract

The article deals with topical issues of the contribution of the French sociologist Michel Foucault to the development of sociological science. The authors of the article show that the scientist became one of the founders of the doctrine of discourse, considering the issues of interaction between society and government. The article also identifies milestones in the biography of the sociologist, and presents his main works. The views of the French scientist on the nature of power are analyzed. The authors conclude that the significance of M. Foucault's works for sociological science lies in the fact that he developed the concept of "archaeology of knowledge", which allows us to explore the historical, social and political conditions of the emergence and operation of knowledge, introduced the concept of discourse.
