Michel Foucault (1926-84). Celebrated French thinker and activist who challenged people's assumptions about care of the mentally ill, gay rights, prisons, the police and welfare.
When one defines "order" as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was The Order of Things that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls "exotic charm". Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.

評分在生物學中,據說我們的視覺是所有感官中最晚發育起來的東西,因而也就帶有最少的動物性。且不說我們是否能從這裏遞推齣:視覺是最高級感官的結論,不過在古希臘哲學中,視覺的確被認為是最高級的。他被認為是和我們的認知(理性)聯係最緊密的感覺器官(相對於嗅覺聽覺等來說...
評分福柯的書一直是我仰視的金字塔。但很不幸,我總是沒有耐性讀下去。 那麼多本書,每一本書的書名都是那麼誘人,(尤其是《性史》,看看,多好的題目,它總是讓我在讀其它書時吃著碗裏的看著鍋裏的)。而實際上,書中層齣不窮的新名詞或是怪想法讓我疲於應付。認輸,閱讀中...

重讀第一章。所謂 "the best thick description of artworks are never written by art historians".真的精彩。
評分僅僅是因為福柯,就應該讀一讀,譯本很無趣.在孔夫子上可以買到。
評分很難說讀懂瞭多少,期待以後重讀進一步收獲。大體意思是體會到瞭,以語言為中心綫索對於episteme在三個時期劇變的闡發;但三個領域(語言、生命、財富)具體如何平行,還有福柯畫的那個table,還有最後部分講science of human的東西,都確實沒把握住。
