Abstract

MICHEL FOUCAULT (1926-1984), who was one of the most influenced thinkers of our time, his absence was felt heavily in the intellectual sphere after his death in 1984. Fewer thinkers have had such a great influence in the fields of history, philosophy, literature, social sciences, and especially, psychology in twentieth century. His new view to the problem of POWER and knowledge, subjective and objective, epistemology and historical development and social roles of these concepts, which was a result of his impression of his predecessors, such as Marx, Nietzsche, Freud and Sartre, has shaken the foundation of political knowledge in the west and reshaped the critical thought into a new format which is independent of the political utopia and ideology.Foucault presented a new definition of POWER that indicates POWER is not something which is in the possession of particular person or group, but all of us are in the employ of POWER and POWER is in everywhere. Therefore, we should not search POWER only in its formal forms (state, government), because, POWER exists in smallest parts of society and in most delicate human relations (micro physics of POWER). Some critics believe that Foucault has presented a comprehensive concept of POWER, therefore, if POWER is everywhere, then, its presence or absence makes no difference and basically, RESISTANCE to POWER would be impossible.The aim of this essay is to prove otherwise than above statement and to realize the emancipatory possibilities and RESISTANCE capacities in Foucault’s life and his works.
