Foucault’s works are based on a vision of history derived from Nietzsche. He expressed his indebtedness to Nietzsche for having outlined a conception of history called genealogy. The method of genealogy involves a painstaking rediscovery of struggles‚ an attack on the tyranny of what he calls ¡¦totalizing discourses¡¦ and a rediscovery of fragmented‚ subjugated‚ local and specific knowledge.
