Abstract
In this paper, my aim is to establish an Archeology of Madness and to seek highlight the madman and the madness in the meeting of philosophical underpinnings with scientific and technological framework. In this sense, I lean over for two possibilities of understanding the madman whose ultimate consequence is to back for an Ethics of Alterity. In other words, I seek to build a look at the Homo sapiens sapiens differences – at the man as previously defined concept - from Michel Foucault´s view on Histoire de la folie à l’age classique. Moreover, I try to analyze this Archeology of Madness as a possibility of prior understanding of the structures of biopower.

Se há uma História do Outro, a arqueologia foucaultiana se presta a isso no momento em que, a partir de um olhar acerca do louco e de sua exclusão e enclausuramento, pontua os dispositivos de dominação sobre aquele categorizado por insano
Summary
Foucault afirma não ser possível uma análise da psiquiatria que não seja a partir da estrutura da exclusão, haja vista ser essa a construção que alicerça o pensamento acerca do louco e da loucura, e sua consequente institucionalização. À vista disso, na arqueologia dessa história, o que se verificou a partir do século XVII foi, com efeito, uma exclusão desse Outro: do louco e da loucura.
