Foucault on history: "The Order of Things"

Foucault claimed that there were limits to what people could actually think, depending on what period of history they lived in. Agree?
The book I am discussing in this video is: Foucault, Michel (2002) The Order of Things. Routledge, London/New York. Original title: Les mots et les choses. First published, 1966.
Recommended reading: Rabinow, Paul (1991) The Foucault Reader, London: Penguin Books
My name is Jostein, I live in Norway, and work at Volda University College. Currently, I am doing a PhD in history. As part of my theoretical education (and because I like it), I read classics of history and historiography. In this channel, I hope to share my learning with you.

Excellent summation. If only Foucault had been able or willing to express himself so succinctly.

I like this quote from the video: ““these thoughts are simply beyond the limits of the episteme of the age.” I can imagine a community or review board hearing your story of how you discovered something completely amazing and they respond in that same vein. They understand it’s an innovative idea and has potential for positive change but perhaps because their participation in the existing episteme includes high status and power they might try and dismiss or even silence the new idea lest they lose everything they have worked for and have to walk in the shoes of the man who came to them.
