First published 2013
A philosopher's radical investigation of how we define and construct knowledge. Foucault challenges the very foundations of what we consider "true," peeling back layers of assumed facts and norms. As he excavates the archaeology of our beliefs, the ground shifts beneath our feet. In the end, the quest for certainty crumbles, leaving us to face the unsettling reality: knowledge is a fragile human construct, shaped by power, discourse, and the vicissitudes of history.
