In the Order of Things by Michael Foucault after the Renaissance there was a large change over in the way that knowledge is perceived. As the Renaissance was a time period in which there was dramatic development in science, art, and literature as persons moved away from the Middle Age. It was a period of great importance as it signified a time in as a large amount of development began to occur. In the time after the Renaissance, the knowledge was significantly different than what it was before As Foucault compares the how perception has changed in that time, do you believe that a similar event is occurring presently or will occur in the future from the way knowledge is currently developing? Do you think that a contrast in the thoughts of different centuries will ever cease to occur?

I believe that our knowledge is based on the such a standardized curriculum that we will not have a change in thinking anytime soon. Our way of thinking is so molded by our education system that it is very difficult to change our views on the way we perceive knowledge. However, we see our understanding of knowledge different very often. As humans progress in our understanding of the natural world our views will change. so I believe that we will always believe that we think differently than past generations, even though we see things the same way but with new concepts.
