RE:

Dear Cameron:
I'm Andrea, I'm going to try to be more specific.
Im interested in the problem of the abandom of the phenomenological horizon,
the horizon of the Dasein, Menschsein and Sinn and the adoption of the
concept of structure from Dumezil. At the University of Buenos Aires, we
consider 4 periods in Foucault's work, the first is the phenomenologic one,
for example the introduction to Binswanger and Maladie mental et
personnalite. The second one is the archeological period, where's Foucault
made his approach to structuralism and at the same time he made his attemp
for a separation from that group. The question is: is archeologie as a
method a response for the hegelian problem of en sui and per sui as
phenomenologie tried to be? The archeologic period depends on a work on
language following Blanchot and Bataille, a work on science and knowledge
following Canguilhem, Koyré, etc and a work on history following Nietzsche.
I want to know if in your opinion you think that archeolgy succeeds in being
an alternative for phenomenology and estructuralism.
