Far from seeking great continuities or universal truths, the author focuses on the ruptures, discontinuities, and moments of transformation that mark the evolution of thought. Through a rigorous epistemological analysis, Foucault offers theoretical tools for a historiography that prioritizes change and the emergence of the new, challenging the commonplaces of the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoucault proposes an exercise in critical thinking that seeks to detect interruptions and breaks in history, rather than homogeneous continuities. The author asks how it is possible for new forms of knowledge to emerge and how radical transformations in knowledge are produced. Following the legacy of Marx and Nietzsche, the book develops a methodology to analyze discourses and social practices, focusing on the moments of mutation and the emerging elements that underlie every social formation. It is a profoundly pedagogical work that teaches how to distinguish and describe epistemological ruptures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical discontinuity and the transformation of knowledge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEpistemology and theory of knowledge applied to history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of the grand continuities of thought and ahistorical truths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eArchaeological methodology for the analysis of discourses and social practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between philosophy and history in the understanding of social change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for historians, philosophers, social scientists, and any reader interested in understanding how knowledge is constructed and how changes operate in the human sciences.
