How does Foucault define power? What is power's relationship to knowledge in Foucault's work? In this video we discuss how Foucault understands the relationship between power and knowledge. Foucault's definition of power has been a source of frustration for readers and students for decades. What does Foucault mean by power? How does Foucault's definition of power differ from other traditional accounts of power?

Foucault radically reimagines the traditional relationship between power and knowledge; instead of thinking of knowledge as a pre-requisite for the exercise of power, Foucault says knowledge produces power. Here I discuss the power / knowledge dynamic in Foucault's work, focusing on Foucault's key ideas and some of the problems with Foucault's philosophy.
