An expert in my field

In my opinion, one of the persons that I really admire a lot is Michel Focault. Even though he is a Psychologist, I consider him a remarkable thinker that has contributed a lot in the Social Science field. For example he concentrated his studies on the relationship that exists among power and domination, providing a psychological point of view, that has been important in the area of sociology. Additionally he also studied about knowledge and discourse within society, which is an important area in social Sciences. Focualt was an outstanding thinker and his contributions during the last century gave him the chance to be recognized as the most quoted author in 2007 in the area of social studies. I remember have heard about him in some conversations with my friends and one of them borrowed me a book.
