Abstract

Through an examination of the work of the French historian and philosopher Michel Foucault, discusses the view that knowledge, as represented in the history of ideas and in studies of knowledge paradigms and bibliographical structures, appears coherent and rationalistic. Emphasizes the need to investigate the assumptions and underlying influences on the ways in which discourse embody and shape meanings. Examines links between language, truth and power which are major concerns of foucault. Argues that Foucault's 'archaeological' and 'genealogical' insights into the nature of warranted knowledge are crucial for an understanding of the communication process and the knowledge-organizing activities in information specialists
