About this listen

Madness, sexuality, power, knowledge—are these facts of life or simply parts of speech? In a series of works of astonishing brilliance, historian Michel Foucault excavated the hidden assumptions that govern the way we live and the way we think.

The Archaeology of Knowledge begins at the level of things aid and moves quickly to illuminate the connections between knowledge, language, and action in a style at once profound and personal. A summing up of Foucault's own methodological assumptions, this book is also a first step toward a genealogy of the way we live now. Foucault's influence on generations of thinkers in the areas of sociology, queer theory, cultural studies, and critical thinking cannot to be underestimated.

Challenging, at times infuriating, The Archaeology of Knowledge: And the Discourse on Language is an absolutely indispensable guide to one of the most innovative thinkers of our time.

This audiobook is masterfully read by James Gillies, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. Audio engineering by Sam Platt.
