FOUCAULT’S ARCHEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS ON MAN AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HUMAN SCIENCES AND ANTHROPOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: Michel Foucault is a French thinker of the philosophical realm of last century's 60s and 70s, who is considered a postmodernist and poststructuralist. Although he regards himself a product of modern tradition, his works present a comprehensive and original critique. precisely of this way of thinking. With his ideas he wanted to make a clear distinction from other prior tendencies, thus joining the voice of other postmodern theorists who sought to demonstrate the alternatives, offered by the then modern philosophical systems, as extremely humanistic. The main purpose of this paper is to examine Foucault's archaeological analysis of the human being and to establish its relationship to the human sciences, which studies the human being as an organism, an economic producer, and as a creator of language, as well as to anthropology, which enables the re-actualization of the general critique. The interpretation will be carried out through content analysis- data reduction by categorization-reduction of all qualitative material in order to identify certain consistent meanings.
