By systematically uncovering and comprehensively examining the
epistemological implications of Heidegger's history of being and
Foucault's archaeology of discursive formations, Towards an
Epistemology of Ruptures shows how Heidegger and Foucault
significantly expand the notions of knowledge and thought. This is
done by tracing their path-breaking responses to the question: What
is the object of thought? The book shows how for both thinkers
thought is not just the act by which the object is represented in
an idea, and knowledge not just a state of the mind of the
individual subject corresponding to the object. Each thinker, in
his own way, argues that thought is a productive event in which the
subject and the object gain their respective identity and knowledge
is the opening up of a space in which the subject and object can
encounter each other and in which true and false statements about
an object become possible. They thereby lay the ground for a new
conceptual framework for rethinking the very relationship between
knowledge and its object.
