The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was
The Order of Things that established Foucault”s reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing.

Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.
