[edit] More in-depth discussion?
Perhaps the article would benefit from a more in-depth discussion? In the least, I think it would be interesting to give an analysis of the three epistémês that figure in Foucault's work and the underlying principle of them all. It would also be good to clarify the subtitle of the book and highlight themes like "the death of the subject" and the like. Finally, it could be good to include a section on Foucault's influences, specially his connection with the Structuralist movement of the time in particular his reading of Lacan and Lévi-Strauss. Other influences include Canguilhem and Bachelard, who provided much of the "shape" for this history of ideas. Daniel Nagase 14:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
