Michelle. Foucault's classic works

"Don't ask me who I am, and don't tell me to remain the same: it is a moral code of status; it governs our documents. I hope that when it comes to writing, It still leaves us free." - Michel Foucault

The French ideological master Michel Foucault published the book "Les mots et les choses. Une archéologie des sciences humaines" (Words and Things) in 1966, proposing the concept of "the death of man". The argument challenged the "people-centered" theoretical presuppositions in academic circles since the 19th and 20th centuries and was criticized by all parties. It even caused Saudi Arabia to criticize the book as the last bulwark of the petty bourgeoisie; Foucault subsequently wrote in 1969 "L'archéologie du savoir" (L'archéologie du savoir) was published in 2006, in which a methodological discussion was proposed and the basic unit of discourse "statement" was analyzed. At the same time, this book was used to respond to the outside world's earlier comments on "Ci and Ci". "Things" comments or accusations.

In "The Archeology of Knowledge", Foucault used the archeology of discontinuity, rupture, and difference to oppose the history of concepts of continuity, origin, and totalization. Through the analysis of discourse formation and presentation, he presented "people" and knowledge as subjects. In the process of being constructed in discursive practice, we deeply analyze the theme of "human death" and finally construct an archeology based on "discursive practice-knowledge-science".

He points out that the history of ideas attempts to decipher the secret movements of thought by deciphering texts, and that the dimensions of "said things" emerge in their own way: the conditions under which they appear, the forms in which they accumulate and connect, the rules by which they transform, embellish their discontinuities. The realm of things in question is what we call the archive; the purpose of archeology is to analyze it.
