How exactly would one characterize Foucault's attitude towards the human
sciences at the end of The Order of Things?
Does he actually suggest, as his critics allege, that the human sciences
will lose relevance after the death of the man or rather that the human
sciences will adapt a new framework of analyzing man in the social sciences,
a subject that is distinct from the subject of Descartes? Is his statement
one of contemporaneity or one of prediction as to what he sees as distant
but inevitable?
