Thanks!

Hello,
I have a question regarding Foucault's biography to which I did not find
any
answer in the mail list's archive. I thought I read somewhere in a
biography
on Foucault that "Madness and Civilisation", his PhD dissertation, was
first
presented to the University of Stockholm (or another Swedish university)
during his stay in Sweden because Foucault at that time was very concerned
with breaking bridges with France, and that it was rejected for not being
scientific enough in its method. I cannot remember the source of the
reading
unfortunately. Recently I discussed this point with a professor in
philosophy at the University of Vienna, specialised in French contemporary
philosophy, who discarded this point of biography. As I do not remember the
exact source (and as I am but a student facing an"expert", and "following
scientists" and "scientific authority" :-)) uncertainty grew in my mind.
Can
anyone confirm or infirm this assertion with some references? It seems I am
simply unable to put my hand on the volume and the page where I thought I
read that. Or perhaps I simply misunderstood.
Thank you so much in advance,
Frank.
