In 1966 Michel Foucault proposed a singular problem of the human sciences in The Order of Things, indicating that “man,” a concept invented in the 19th century, is formed as the empirical-transcendental doublet. Man is both the subject who thinks and the object of thinking, thereby producing the foundation for the field of problematics which is specific to the modern knowledge. The problem of man suggests that it poses the problem on itself on the one hand, and on the other hand that it becomes the problem of thinking the unthought in the positivity of life, language and work. The problem of human sciences remarks the most important movement of thought in Foucault, and through Lacan, it further overturns Descartes’ cogito. The cogito, for Foucault, only exists where I am not, and I am where I do not think. The human sciences are installed in the back and forth paradox between thought and existence, and no longer have any Cartesian evidence. Conversely, the human sciences are traversed by the unthought, making modern man have a closer affinity with madness more than we imagine. |
