If you are going to devote the last two chapters of a book to the human sciences, reference at least one anthropologist. Foucault makes STRONG claims about the privileged position of [hu]man at the center of the modern episteme, so his failure to reference a single anthropologist in this section is frankly infuriating. I had to second guess how old Anthropology was, to verify that it had been a science then, his claims were that bold.
Its still a valuable classic in understanding the underlying historicity of thought in the development of the sciences, but when this work slips it really slips.
(The prose is also unforgivingly taxing to wade through, which doesn't weigh into this rating but its important to note because it droves most of the 1-star ratings.)
