Michel Foucault - The Four Similitudes
Michel Foucault, The Four Similitudes
Excerpt from The Order of Things
Chapter 2: The Prose of The World
Foucault's essay examines the role that resemblances of different kinds played in the foundations of enlightenment science.

Chapter 2, Part 1: The Four Similitudes
Up to the end of the sixteenth century,
resemblance played a constructive role in the knowledge of Western culture. It
was resemblance that largely guided exegesis and the interpretation of texts;
it was resemblance that organized the play of symbols, made possible knowledge
of things visible and invisible, and controlled the art of representing them.
The universe was folded in upon itself: the earth echoing the sky, faces seeing
themselves reflected in the stars, and plants holding within their stems the
secrets that were of use to man. Painting imitated space. And representation -
whether in the service of pleasure or of knowledge - was posited as a form of
repetition: the theatre of life or the mirror of nature, that was the claim
made by all language, its manner of declaring its existence and of formulating
its right of speech.
We must pause here for a while, at this moment in
time when resemblance was about to relinquish its relation with knowledge and
disappear, in part at least, from the sphere of cognition. How, at the end of
the sixteenth century, and even in the early seventeenth century, was similitude
conceived? How did it organize the figures of knowledge? And if the things that
resembled one another were indeed infinite in number, can one, at least,
establish the forms according to which they might resemble one another?
The semantic web of resemblance in the sixteenth
century is extremely rich: Amicitia, Aequalitas (contractus, consensus,
matrimonium, societas, pax, et similia), Consonantia, Concertus, Continuum,
Pantos, Proportio, Similitudo, Conjunctio, Copula[1]. And there are a great
many other notions that intersect, overlap, reinforce, or limit one another on
the surface of thought. It is enough for the moment to indicate the principal
figures that determine the knowledge of resemblance with their articulations.
There are four of these that are, beyond doubt, essential.
