With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in \u003cem\u003eThe Order of Things\u003c\/em\u003e, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was \u003cem\u003eThe Order of Things\u003c\/em\u003e that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls \"exotic charm\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608118935788,"sku":"9780415267366","price":219.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415267366-the-order-of-things.jpg?v=1778184064","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-order-of-things-by-michel-foucault-9780415267366","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
