Synopsis "The Order of Things: An Archaeology of Human Sciences (in English)"

With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern sciences of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of meaning and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths. In the work that established him as the most important French thinker since Sartre, Michel Foucault offers startling evidence that "man"--man as a subject of scientific knowledge--is at best a recent invention, the result of a fundamental mutation in our culture.

Michel Foucault (Poiters, 1926 – París, 1984), filósofo, historiador y sociólogo francés, fue profesor en numerosas universidades tanto francesas como internacionales. En 1970 la asamblea general de profesores del Collège de France le concedió la titularidad de la cátedra Historia de los sistemas de pensamiento, que ocupó hasta su muerte.
Hijo de un eminente cirujano de la zona de Vichy, Foucault no destacó en los estudios hasta llegar a la École Normale Supérieure, paso previo para acceder a la Universidad, donde cursó filosofía y psicología. No obstante acabó doctorándose y convirtiéndose en el autor más citado del mundo en el ámbito de humanidades de 2007, según The Times Higher Education Guide.
En 1966 publica Les Mots et les choses, uno de sus más importantes aportaciones al estructuralismo junto a Jacques Lacan, Claude Lévi-Strauss y Roland Barthes.
Michel Foucault es autor, entre otros libros, de Historia de la locura, Vigilar y castigar, Historia de la sexualidad —de la cual tan sólo concluyó 3 volúmenes—, Enfermedad mental y personalidad, Enfermedad mental y psicología, Discurso y verdad en la antigua Grecia, Obras esenciales y De lenguaje y literatura, los cinco últimos publicados por Paidós.
