Archaeology of Knowledge

"Next to Sartre's 'Search for a Method' and in direct opposition to it, Foucault's work is the most noteworthy effort at a theory of history in the last 50 years....While Sartre shows the human intention behind the most alienated institution, Foucault reveals anonymity in the most intimate, personal expression of the individual. At bottom, the import of his 'archaeology' is to radically deny the transcendental nature of reason."Foucault, Michel is the author of 'Archaeology of Knowledge', published 2002 under ISBN 9780415287524 and ISBN 0415287529.
