If you like big words and you cannot lie…



 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.
