Foucault

You know what I don't get? Foucault has always seemed better, to make more sense, to be highly applicable, when you have gone just a little bit mad, a tad bit frustrated, a wee bit drunk. Well it is currently 1:21am, I'm tired, more than a little frustrated, and I decided to pick up "The Order of Things." (I am not drunk.)

He is no easier, and I still don't fully get the relationship between Cuvier's theory of the earth (with his revolutions), and the Great Chain of Being (GCB). How does Cuvier's theory of the earth work AGAINST the GCB?

You may please comment your answers, one at a time, and thanks will be accorded where thanks is due.

Deleriously,
Sam.
