Foucault's Power/Knowledge Explained: Philosophy for Autodidacts

Описание: Dive deep into Michel Foucault's groundbreaking concept of power/knowledge, a cornerstone of post-structuralist philosophy that reshapes how we understand societal structures, knowledge production, and authority. In this educational video, we explore how Foucault argues that power and knowledge are not separate but mutually constitutive, influencing everything from disciplinary power in institutions to the history of sexuality and societal norms. Perfect for autodidacts in philosophy, psychology, and AI ethics, this explainer breaks down complex ideas into accessible insights for self-learners.

Michel Foucault, the influential French philosopher, introduced power/knowledge in works like 'Discipline and Punish' and 'The History of Sexuality,' challenging traditional views in sociology, political science, and critical theory. Learn how knowledge isn't neutral but shaped by power dynamics, affecting fields like feminist theory, postcolonial studies, and educational theory. Whether you're a student in STEM or humanities, a professional seeking intellectual growth, or an autodidact passionate about psychology and AI's societal impacts, this video provides key takeaways to enhance your understanding of modern thought.

We discuss real-world applications: how power/knowledge manifests in surveillance societies, media, and technology—bridging philosophy with contemporary AI debates on data control and ethical knowledge systems. Gain a critical lens on how norms are constructed and resisted, empowering you to analyze power structures in your own life.
