  <description><![CDATA[When one defines order as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in <em>The Order of Things</em>, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was <em>The Order of Things</em> that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls exotic charm. Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<em>Les Mots et les Choses</em> valut à Michel Foucault une réputation internationale. Ensuite, ses autres ouvrages ne feront que développer une seule et même thèse : celle de la mort de l'homme et de l'humanisme classique qui concevait le sujet pensant comme une exception dans l'ordre de la nature. Avec l'avènement des sciences humaines, l'homme est devenu un objet d'étude au même titre que les phénomènes naturels. Cette objectivation de l'homme a en même temps rendu possible sa maîtrise. <p>Ainsi, Michel Foucault, parce qu'il nous a délivrés de l'illusion de leur &quot;naïveté positive&quot;, a été la mauvaise conscience des sciences de l'homme. Leur élaboration a en effet accompagné le triomphe de cette technique du pouvoir qui consiste à classifier les comportements humains pour mieux les manipuler. <p>D'un abord plus difficile que la plupart des autres livres de Michel Foucault, <em>Les Mots et les Choses</em> constitue de toute évidence un des grands textes de la philosophie contemporaine dont un lecteur averti ne saurait faire l'économie. <em>--Paul Klein</em> </p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[When one defines order as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in <em>The Order of Things</em>, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was <em>The Order of Things</em> that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls exotic charm. Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.]]>

    <![CDATA[When one defines order as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in <em>The Order of Things</em>, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was <em>The Order of Things</em> that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls exotic charm. Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.]]>
