This thesis is focused on the meaning referring to the"knowledge"and"power"of Michel Foucault, figuring out the collusion of"knowledge"and "power" is the main features of modern society, and knowledge - power products docile, non-differential individuals. On this basis, this paper analyzes comparatively the connotation and research objects of Foucault's "archeology" and "genealogy", obtained a point of view that the "genealogy" is a deepening and development of "archaeological". In addition, compare similarities and differences between Foucault and Marx in the issue of modernity, sort out between the source and flow relationship of Marx and Foucault. There, the study makes an in-depth analysis of Foucault's unique view of power.The thesis could be divided into four parts.The first chapter discusses the relationship between archeology and genealogy as well as the collusion of power and knowledge. I start with explaining that why Foucault abandoned the method of traditional thinking History, arriving at the unique archaeological and genealogy research methods of Foucault, and then focusing on a certain number of core areas of archeology and genealogy, concluding the actual collusion of "knowledge" and "power". On this basis, then, clarifies the relationship between archeology and genealogy.The second chapter expounds the use of archeology and genealogy method in Foucault's writings, revealing that the archeology and genealogy are both the deconstruction to modern rational. The specific using of Archaeology and genealogy method in Foucault's writings are primarily "Madness and Civilization", "What is Enlightenment", "Discipline and Punish", and "The history of sexuality", and discusses how thoroughly Foucault criticized rational and society in these four books.Chapter III of the paper compares Foucault's critical method of archeology and genealogy to Marx's modern critique. Starting from the relationship between Foucault and the French Communist Party, showing the dubious relationship between Foucault and Marxism, and thus compare the criticism of Foucault archeology and genealogy methods with Marx's critique of practice, mainly concentrated on the research methods, view of power and the analysis of people , etc.Chapter IV reveals the harm of the collusion of knowledge -power , and proposing some solutions. Criticism focused on the harm of knowledge-power to modern society, producing the non-differential beings, the individual is one of the networks of generalization-punishment, and interpreting Foucault's point of view about the "death of man". Finally, the paper attempts to put forward specific programs for deconstructing power-knowledge.
