The Order of Things: An archaeology of the human sciences by Michel Foucault Pap

Description: The Order of Things by Michel Foucault Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century, it was The Order of Things that established Foucaults reputation as an intellectual giant. Publisher Description When one defines "order" as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was The Order of Things that established Foucaults reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls "exotic charm". Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault. Author Biography Michel Foucault (1926-84). Celebrated French thinker and activist who challenged peoples assumptions about care of the mentally ill, gay rights, prisons, the police and welfare.
