9. Starting with Discipline and Punish, Foucault's work of the 1970s and 1980s is often understood as marking an abandonment of his earlier concern with the archaeology of knowledge, where the focus was on the internal structure of systems of thought, towards an investigation of the manifold way in which various knowledges and techniques, embodied in social practices and institutions, have acted historically in constituting subjects. But as Dreyfus and Rabinow have claimed, it is a mistake to characterize Foucault's work as marking a straightforward 'turn' from archaeology to genealogy. Rather, '[f]rom his earliest days Foucault has used variants of a strict analysis of discourse (archaeology) and paid a more general attention to that which conditions, limits, and institutionalizes discursive formations (genealogy). There is no pre- and post-archaeology or genealogy.

It is, however, true that Heidegger and Gadamer had an important influence on Koselleck's view of Begriffsgeschichte in so far as they stressed the primarily historical character of selfunderstanding.
