Riassunto

Puts The Archaeology of Knowledge at the heart of Foucault's thoughtDavid Webb reveals the extent to which Foucault's approach to language in The Archaeology of Knowledge was influenced by the mathematical sciences, adopting a mode of thought indebted to thinkers in the scientific and epistemological traditions. By aligning his thought with the challenge to Kantian philosophy from mathematics and science in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, he shows how Foucault established his own perspective on the future of critical philosophy.

Recensione:

David Webb makes one of the biggest advances in our understanding of Foucault's archeological thinking. He identifies with the utmost lucidity the problem to which Foucault's 1969 'The Archeology of Knowledge' really responds. Archeology, Webb shows, attempts to determine conditions of knowledge that are historical (and not transcendental) and non-empirical (but formal). 'Foucault's Archeology' is a great achievement. --Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University
