One of the Great Intellectual Heroes of the 20Th Century, Foucault Was a Man Whose Passion and Reason Were at the Service of Nearly Every Progressive Cause of His Time. From Law and Order, to Mental Health, to Power and Knowledge, He Spearheaded Public Awareness of the Dynamics That Hold Us All in Thrall to a Few Powerful Ideologies and Interests.;Arguably His Finest Work, "Archaeology of Knowledge" is a Challenging but Rewarding Introduction to His Ideas. the Purpose of "Archaeology of Knowledge" is to Suggest How Rhetoric Can Be Studied and Understood in Its Relationship With Power and Knowledge.
