From: "Christopher Blakley" <chrisblakley-AT-earthlink.net> Subject: RE: The Order of Things Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 21:50:56 -0500 Travis: The Order of Things is indeed a very difficult book. I picked it up and put it down a several times before I was able, finally, to get all the way through it. Some of the secondary texts that I found most helpful for dealing with this period of Foucault's works include Michel Foucault: Beyond Hermeneutics and Structuralism (this book is a really good starting point for Foucault, in my opinion) and Gary Guttings' book on Foucault and the sciences, the exact title escapes me right now - but it is something like Michel Foucault's Archeology of the Sciences. These works should give you a pretty good place to start.
