Foucault's Archaeology

Foucault's Archaeology is a method for studying how knowledge and ideas are shaped over time. It involves analyzing the underlying rules and structures—called discourses—that determine what can be said, believed, or known in a particular era. Rather than focusing on individual histories, it examines how different periods organize and limit thought, revealing the changing frameworks that define what is considered valid or true. This approach helps us understand the hidden systems that produce knowledge, culture, and power at different points in history.
