उत्तर
- According to Michel Foucault, arranging historical events only in chronological order was not the correct method.
- He explained that archaeology does not aim to discover the final historical truth.
- Instead, it tries to explain the different changes and transitions that took place in the past.
- Foucault gave greater importance to understanding these historical transitions.
Therefore, Foucault called his method ‘the archaeology of knowledge’.
