Foucault Called His Method, ‘The Archaeology of Knowledge’. - History and Political Science

 

Michel Foucault called his method, ‘the archaeology of knowledge’ Because he recognized the fact that history based on the chronological event is not the correct way to form history, it is about the changes or the transformation which takes place in the past which archaeology explains. He considers archaeology as the primary truth to explain the various transitions that took place in the past.
