This book is an important introduction to the critical
interpretation of the work of the major French thinker Michel
Foucault. Through comprehensive and detailed analyses of such
important texts as The History of Madness in the Age of Reason, The
Birth of the Clinic, The Order of Things, and The Archaeology of
Knowledge, Professor Gutting provides a lucid exposition of
Foucault's 'archaeological' approach to the history of thought - a
method for uncovering the 'unconscious' structures that set
boundaries on the thinking of a given epoch. The book also casts
Foucault in a new light, relating his work to two major but
neglected influences: Gaston Bachelard's philosophy of science and
Georges Canguilhem's history of science. This perspective yields a
new and valuable understanding of science, balancing and
complementing the more common view that he was primarily a social
critic and theorist. An excellent guide for those first approaching
Foucault's work, the book will also be a challenging interpretation
and evaluation for those already familiar with his writings.
