The history of present Foucault and philosophical meditations on History

Every historical research whether in the field of historical sociology or other areas of the humanities is necessarily based on some hypotheses and questions which form the philosophical and methodological assumptions of the work; these assumptions provide a basis for presenting and analyzing historical narrative. One of the thinkers who had devoted a major part of his work as historical research is the French philosopher, Michel Foucault. This article includes some points about his idea, especially his approach towards history. He generally evaded from some assumptions and suppositions of common historiography and dealt with other principles in writing the history. These principles are inseparably in connection with his philosophical and Intellectual reflections, and one can investigate some aspects of them, only with respect to the fundamental concepts of his thought.
