[Foucault-L] Fw: savoir - connaissance

Dear Emmanuel

Shame on me! You are right.
I am sorry, my reference was taken from a summary of a summary.

The strict point of the Archeology, indeed, is that 'savoir' is 'préalable' or constitutive in soms hisrorical transcendental way; it is the way in which a field or domain is organised. This cannot be identified ot confused with the positive knowledge ('connaissance') of a science, not even with its proto-knowledge.

yours,
machiel karskens

Hi all !
Mister Karskens wrote :

"In L'archéologie du savoir on page 236 'savoir is called : "l'état desconnaissances" at a given moment;"

Sorry, mister, but what Foucault actually says on this very page is actually exactly the contrary :

"b) Le Savoir.

Les positivités NE caractérisent PAS des formes de connaissance - que ce soient des conditions a priori et nécessaires ou des formes de rationalité qui ont pu à tour de rôle être mises en oeuvre par l'histoire. Mais elles NE définissent PAS NON PLUS l'état des connaissances à un moment donné du temps (...)"

(Michel Foucault, L'archéologie du savoir, Gallimard, Bibliothéque des Sciences Humaines, p. 267. Emphasis mine.)
