From Episteme to Institution: An Interview with Philip Mirowski

Resumen

The interview gives an extremely comprehensive overview of Mirowski’s work and, I think, provokes answers that may not be found in any of his previously published books or journal articles. As the reader will soon appreciate his work is remarkably diverse and almost appears to lack structure. To think this, however, is to be mistaken. There is a very discernible structure in the trajectory of Mirowski’s work. Indeed, it seems to be an identical structure that is found in the trajectory of the work of the philosopher who most closely resembles Mirowski. I have in mind, of course, Michel Foucault.
