The Order of Things
₨ 1,050
“The Order of Things” by Michel Foucault is a seminal work in which the philosopher explores the evolution of various fields of knowledge and the underlying structures that shape human understanding. Foucault examines how different epochs have organized knowledge—ranging from natural history to economics and linguistics—revealing the historical and cultural contexts that influence these systems. He introduces the concept of “episteme,” which refers to the frameworks of thought that define a period’s understanding of knowledge and truth. Through this analysis, Foucault challenges conventional narratives about progress and emphasizes the arbitrary nature of classifications in knowledge. The book is a profound reflection on the relationship between power, knowledge, and the ways we construct our realities, making it a cornerstone of post-structuralist thought.
