| Description | 245p Black and White Spine |
| Note | Comparable to Sartre's 'Search for a method', and in direct opposition to it, Foucault's work is a noteworthy effort at a theory of history in the last fifty years. It excavates the hidden assumptions that govern the way we live and think. Beginning at the level of "things aid", it illuminates the connections between knowledge, language and action in a style at once profound and personal. |
