    True

    Explanation:

    Foucault is considered a post-structuralist, or a postmodernist. These labels mean that he rejected meta-narratives such as marxism or the enlightment, and looked for a different, non-structured way to understand the world and society.

    He is also well-known for his theories about power, and the relation between power, knowledge, and social control.
