The Order of Things
ISBN 9780679753353
About This Book
When one defines 'order' as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear what Foucault is doing here. He weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology.
Editorial Note
Foucault excavates the hidden structures (epistemes) that determine what counts as knowledge in different historical periods. A book about the archaeology of thought itself.
