I'm rereading one of Foucault's major books called The Nature of Things, The Order of Things and he's a grifter. Which didn't occur to me the first time I read it because I thought this is kind of interesting philosophy but he makes the point that natural science is a complete invention because all of biology is one thing and it's only us imposing this order on it and my first thought was that's interesting until a turkey tries to mate with a coyote and then you realize no there actually is an order of things.
