Michel Foucault, The Subject And Power - The How Of Power Relations - Sadler's Lectures

Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the work of the 20th century philosopher and historian, Michel Foucault, "The Subject and Power" It focuses specifically on why he thinks that it is important to focus on the "How" of power relations, rather than just the "What" and the "Why". He also distinguishes objective capacities from communicative/sign systems, and power relations, and discusses how they interconnect with each other. He finishes with the notion of "disciplines" as blocks of these three, and what the disciplining of society would mean (it's not that everything is a prison) To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Michel Foucault's Power (The Essential Works of Foucault, 1954-1984, Vol. 3) - https://amzn.to/3uJCxZL
