Comprehension can be overrated. Sometimes you just want to sit back and let the big words roll right over your head.This book does that. The Archaeology of Knowledge is about a way of thinking about the systems of knowledge and how they came to be. I think. I would like to understand it, so I may give it another read. For now I am happy to have enjoyed getting all my fancy vocabulary out and adding to my collection. I may read Madness and Civilization some time as it may have more easily followed references since it is limited to a single subject.
Big words. Such shiny bling. I wonder if it is Foucault’s fault or his translator.
