ng the characteristic of a monster and reflects on the multiple dimensions of abnormal behavior. As Foucault says, he proposes an essential philosophical theory in the question of pleasure and shows a marked concern for bodily and sexual pleasures. To some extent, Foucault suggests that mentally deranged people exhibit certain behaviors considered monstrous such as "Masturbation". So the experience in and out of the body is reduced to madness or is a reaction to the situation in which the individual finds himself, which is a distorted view in our society. While Foucault traces concepts such as madness, punishment and sexuality across different historical eras, his thinking proposes overlapping and contrasting stories. Foucault uses the example of hermaphrodites to show monstrosity by stating that "hermaphrodites were considered monsters and were executed." (Michael Foucault, Abnormal, p. 67). Hermaphrodites related to homosexuality could cause a sexual addiction which is a pretext for abnormal sexual desires typically represented through paraphilia. So would society discard them just because they are imperfect or unacceptable? Degeneration is the main theoretical element of the medicalization of the "abnormal". In his writings, Foucault describes the “condition” as the abnormal basis on the basis of which diseases become possible. A condition can produce absolutely anything in any order: anything pathological in the body or deviant behavior can be the product of a "condition". The “condition” is the abnormal basis on which diseases become possible. It is suggested that degeneration is the main theoretical element of the medicalization of the abnormal. The degenerate is someone who represents a danger. The degenerate is he who, at...... middle of paper......ion as he pleases. The reality of sexual behavior deviant from a way of being: irregular sexual acts were not only seen as immoral, but as the manifestation of an underlying morbid condition. Foucault argues that the modern idea of sexuality was historically constituted when medical science demarcated deviance. Although Foucault argues that sexuality was shaped rather than repressed by the scientific will to know, the aim was to relegate sexual repression. Michael Foucault played a key role in building the modern concept of sexuality through interconnected approaches. The purpose of this writing is to promote understanding of the mental defects that can lead to criminal behavior. In the wake of Foucault's influential sexual histories, Krafft-Ebing is often vilified as a contributor to the repressed Victorian construction of sexual deviance.
