POWER OF OMNIPRESENCE IN MICHEL FOUCAULT

Power is omnipresent in Michel Foucault, this is said textually. It remains, however, to analyze what it means and whether this would necessarily imply a negative evaluation of the phenomenon. For this, we will identify some important elements in the author's work, such as overcoming the legal-discursive conception of power, the analysis of some general considerations that Foucault makes about power relations, the concept of "anarchaelogy" and the suggestion of a analitycal philosophy of politics in terms of counter-power. In this way, we seek to argue that recognizing the omnipresence of power would actually detect an essential feature that allows us to deal better with the fact that we are always in processes related to power, but that, rather than completely subjugating ourselves, it allows us to be free.
