Synopsis
The Archaeology of Knowledge is a book written by Michel Foucault and was published in 1969. This volume was Foucault's main excursion into methodology. He wrote it in order to deal with the reception that The Order of Things (Les Mots et les choses) had received. It makes references to Anglo-American analytical philosophy, particularly speech act theory. Foucault directs his analysis toward the "statement", the basic unit of discourse that he believes has been ignored up to this point.
