The structuralism came into being as a concept in which social structures and interactions are perceived as fixed and invariant and certainly not changeable.
Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
Michel Foucault was a major figure in two successive waves of 20th century French thought–the structuralist wave of the 1960s and then the post structuralist wave. By the premature end of his life, Foucault had some claim to be the most prominent living intellectual in France.
