‘Episteme’ designates the accepted mode of
acquiring and arranging knowledge in a
given period.
An episteme unites the various
discourses and guarantees their coherence
within an underlying structure of implicit
assumptions about the status of knowledge.
The term has gained currency from the work
of the French philosopher Michel Foucault,
especially his Les Mots et les choses (The
Order of Things, 1966; Bulgarian edition:
GZmdZ b badmkl\h, 1990).
