Foucault on Power
Manage episode 407796962 series 3491732
In this episode, we explore Michel Foucault's view of power, which diverge significantly from traditional theories that conceptualize power as a commodity or structure possessed by certain entities (e.g., the state, ruling classes). Power, in Foucault's view, is exercised rather than owned, manifesting itself through practices, institutions, and discourses that condition human behavior and thought. Such an example demonstrates Foucault's insight that power is everywhere, not because it embraces everything, but because it comes from everywhere.
