The Archeology of Knowledge
Description
The Archaeology of Knowledge is a 1969 book by the French philosopher Michel Foucault. It is a methodological treatise promoting what Foucault calls "archaeology" or the "archaeological method", an analytical method he implicitly used in his previous works Madness and Civilization, The Birth of the Clinic, and The Order of Things. It is Foucault's only explicitly methodological work. The premise of the book is that systems of thought and knowledge are governed by rules which operate in the consciousness of individual subjects and define a system of conceptual possibilities that determines the boundaries of thought in a given domain and period.
