Pełny opis: |
This course is devoted to the slightly forsaken domain of Foucault’s oeuvre i.e. his archeology. The concept of an “archeology” – in its amplifica¬tions like “the archeology of libido”, “archeology of the text”, “the arche¬ology of silence”, “archeology of medical perception”, “archeology of human sciences” and finally “archeology of knowledge” – is the exceptional term in Foucault’s oeuvre. He never gives it up, like many other terms which he exhausted completely. As a consequence of this, liquidity of the term “archeology” emerges as a problem. We can follow the dynamic of the concept from the very beginnings, i.e. from his encounter with phenomenology, psy¬choanalysis, and Marxism to his hermeneutics of the subject. The domain which is spanned by this concept, grasped in Fou-cault’s meaning, is the domain of epistemological investigations of human sciences. Human sciences as a field of epistemological investigation is an old and classical question in modern philosophy. Its significance was appreciated by Kant, Cassirer, Husserl and many other prominent figures of modern phi¬losophy. But in spite of the best endeavors, two main epistemological project of validation of human sciences – Husserlian and Cassirerian one, was collapsed. This entailed destruction not only this, crucial, however particular task, but entailed a disintegration of transcendental philosophy as a general philosophical project too. Me-mento for both these enterprises is the Husserl’s apothegm: “Philosophy as a science, as serious, rigorous, indeed apodicti¬cally rigorous, science – the dream is over”. So, the main source of “awaken¬ing” was the realization of the paradoxes of conceptualization of “Man” as the main object of this sciences. Because of this reappearance of the human sci¬ences as an object of epistemological investigations in the archeological approach was a challenge. Foucauldian archeology of knowledge is a kind of epistemol¬ogy situated beyond standard approaches to the sciences. The Foucauldian interpretation of problematic situation for archeology is as follows: the main epis¬temological issue of human sciences is not a validation of its, but consist in a simple question: how to explore human sciences? Human sciences were the primary field for an archeological investigation but not because of its preten¬sions to be solid, the valid ground of particular claims about a man. The peculiarity of human sciences, as an object of epistemological investigations, consists in its history and specific forms of conceptualizations of its object. |
