Abstract
michel foucault may be one of the most influential French philosophers of our time. He spent much of his professional life as a professor, and he is best known because of his critical analysis of various social institutions; medicine and the human sciences being specific ones. He published many books, including The Archaeology of Knowledge which he published in 1969 with the purpose of replying to the way that his previous book, The Order of Things was received in the philosophical community. The focus of this book was on methodology, and it deals specifically with analytical theory and speech act theory. In this book he focuses on the "statement" as the essential element of discourse, which according to foucault had not been given the attention it deserved in the study of history. To him, statements are what make language meaningful as they establish a framework of rules that outline what is evocative.
