Foucault tries, rigorously and implacably, to contain the imperial study of this ancient and pre-historical field and discipline within the elastic limits of the history of ideas and the literary concept of the oeuvre. We know that archaeology as a concept and as a method is not a language as in the association of signs. It is at the same time a form of representation of a past in its longing for a settled, stable, laid down and abiding present and an anticipation of a future that is settled and ‘dead', yet real, perpetually haunting and compelling attention. As an intellectual empathizer with the field - cultural or archaeological -1 hope to bring in. within the framework of the history' of ideas, the value of preserved knowledge.
