| FOUCAULT, MICHEL; SHERIDAN-SMITH, A. M. (TRANSLATOR) The Archaeology of Knowledge : and the Discourse on Language New York, NY, U.S.A. Pantheon Books/Dorset Press.

Begins at the level of "things said" and moves quickly to illuminate the connections between knowledge, language, and action in a style at once profound and personal. A summing up of Foucault's own methodological assumptions, this book is also a first step toward a genealogy of the way we live now. Challengin, at times infuriating, it is an absolutely indispensable guide to one of the most innovative thinkers now writing. Small bit of staining inside front panel of dust jacket is only visible when dust jacket removed from book. Otherwise, dust jacket lightly to moderately worn with no tears. Contents tight, square and unmarked. Fine/Very Good. CAD 57.30 [Appr.: EURO 36.25 US$ 54.21 | £UK 32.75 | JP¥ 4784] Book number: 56606743 Click here to order or inquire at RareNonFiction.com. | ||
| FOX, ROBIN The Search for Society : Quest for a Biosocial Science and Morality New Brunswick, NJ, U.S.A. Rutgers University Press. 1989. (ISBN: 0813514886) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 264 pages including index. The social sciences are in turmoil. There is not even any agreement on the nature of the subject matter. Robin Fox, an anthropologist, has always spoken out for a science of society based on evolutionary theory as a way out of the confusion. Here he shares with us, in essays, his explorations of this contentious subject matter. His focal point is the endemic opposition to any approach based on innate human qualities, and hence any definition of cultural universals. This opposition is deeply ingrained and often irrational, so Fox digs into its past to uncover its philosophical and political underpinnings. Very Good/No Jacket.
