Les Mots et les Choses valut à Michel Foucault une réputation internationale. Ensuite, ses autres ouvrages ne feront que développer une seule et même thèse : celle de la mort de l'homme et de l'humanisme classique qui concevait le sujet pensant comme une exception dans l'ordre de la nature.

Summary:
Les Mots et les Choses valut à Michel Foucault une réputation internationale. Ensuite, ses autres ouvrages ne feront que développer une seule et même thèse : celle de la mort de l'homme et de l'humanisme classique qui concevait le sujet pensant comme une exception dans l'ordre de la nature. Avec l'avènement des sciences humaines, l'homme est devenu un objet d'étude au même titre que les phénomènes naturels. Cette objectivation de l'homme a en même temps rendu possible sa maîtrise. Ainsi, Michel Foucault, parce qu'il nous a délivrés de l'illusion de leur "naïveté positive", a été la mauvaise conscience des sciences de l'homme. Leur élaboration a en effet accompagné le triomphe de cette technique du pouvoir qui consiste à classifier les comportements humains pour mieux les manipuler. D'un abord plus difficile que la plupart des autres livres de Michel Foucault, Les Mots et les Choses constitue de toute évidence un des grands textes de la philosophie contemporaine dont un lecteur averti ne saurait faire l'économie. --Paul Klein

This period encompasses what Guattari himself called the "Winter Years" of the early 1980s—the imprisonment of Italian radicals, the disillusion with the socialists in power, the backlash against post-'68 thinking, the spread of environmental catastrophe, and the establishment of a postmodernist ideology aimed at adaptation rather than change—a period with discernible echoes twenty years later.

Summary:
According to Peter Sloterdijk, the twentieth century started on a specific day and place: April 22, 1915, at Ypres in Northern France. That day, the German army used a chlorine gas meant to exterminate indiscriminately. Until then, war, as described by Clausewitz and practiced by Napoleon, involved attacking the adversary's vital function first. Using poison gas signaled(...)

Summary:
According to Peter Sloterdijk, the twentieth century started on a specific day and place: April 22, 1915, at Ypres in Northern France. That day, the German army used a chlorine gas meant to exterminate indiscriminately. Until then, war, as described by Clausewitz and practiced by Napoleon, involved attacking the adversary's vital function first. Using poison gas signaled the passage from classical war to terrorism. This terror from the air inaugurated an era in which the main idea was no longer to target the enemy's body, but their environment. From then on, what would be attacked in wartime as well as in peacetime would be the very conditions necessary for life.

In this book, the authors go head to head for three rounds, employing an impressive arsenal of moves to advance their positions and press their respective advantages. By the closing bell, they have proven themselves worthy adversaries--and have also shown that faith and reason are not simply and intractably opposed.

Though some of the issues are specific to the French literary-academic situation, the bulk of this brief essay is a lively and accessible statement of an important modern critical position that is worth reading.
