Dear friends,
After spending a month digging into reality, I thought I might re-run this serial from June 2015 on the topic of Foucault’s Archaeology, that is, his methodology for examining the relationships between statements of knowledge. Michel Foucault (mee-shell foo-koh) was notoriously obtuse in his choice of language, but very insightful once you get over this barrier. This serial was part of a pair (the other applied Foucault to games) and focussed primarily on making his work easier to access. My chief method entailed comparing Foucault (who is hard to grasp) to Thomas Kuhn (who is widely understood).
In revising these pieces for Stranger Worlds I have added epigrams and tightened the prose when it overran my 750 word constraint, as well as making some substitutions in Foucault’s terminology to improve the legibility. Hope you enjoy our latest journey into scientific knowledge!
It takes around 250 hours each year to run this philosophy project, so please support Stranger Worlds with a paid subscription if you can. Paid subscribers can also join the discussions in the comment here, and new voices are always welcome.

Or if you have the will and the time for the conversation but lack the money, I am always open to ‘creative barter’ in exchange for a paid subscription, and will accept almost anything in this regard.
With unlimited love,
Chris.
