Main Article Content
Abstract
The article is devoted to identification of the ideas of Michel Foucault, which can be attributed to his theory of "discourse analysis". The article shows that today Foucauldian discourse analysis is characterized by certain blurriness due to subsequent interpretations. As a solution to this problem, we propose to return to the original works of Foucault. But even at the level of the original Foucault's texts researchers face certain difficulties of coherent reading due to some incoherence in works of Foucault. Our response to these challenges, based on the division of the theory into three parts, according to the three procedures ontologization (phenomenological, taxonomic and metaphysical). Major discrepancies and difficulties in a coherent reading of Foucauldian theory, should be attributed to the third metaphysical procedure. This division into three parts correlates with three possible scenarios of the reception of Foucault's theory.
