Problems of Style Michel Foucault's Epistemology

In this original reading, Privitera argues for a continuity in Foucault's work best seen when various themes and methodological strategies in his writings are traced back to the influence of Gaston Bachelard. The distinct stages in Foucault's development--from archaeology to genealogy and, finally, to the themes of subjectivization and normalization--can be viewed as different attempts to work out within the context of the human sciences insights and problems contained in Bachelard's constructivist philosophy of science.Privitera, Walter is the author of 'Problems of Style Michel Foucault's Epistemology' with ISBN 9780791423349 and ISBN 0791423344.
