- Abstract
Michel Foucault is one of the most emblematic figures of the European philosophic milieu in the 60s and 70s of the last century, considered as a postmodernist and poststructuralist, while he called himself a product of the modern tradition, although his works represent a comprehensive and original critique precisely of this way of thinking. He is an ever-actual multidisciplinary philosopher, who attracted the scientific and intellectual attention since very early. There is a rich assortment of matters in the works of Foucault: from his early interests in psychology and madness, through the birth of modern medicine and humanities, to the analysis of disciplining forms of the history of sexuality. However, two matters dominate in his interests: setting conditions for the emergence of contemporary forms of rationality, especially in the humanities, and the understanding of the complex intertwining between knowledge and power. The diversity of his topics also includes influences which were present in his thought. This paper will examine the influences of Friedrich Nietzsche, that we constantly encounter in Foucault’s works, with special emphasis on the will for power, which is a common subject of both.
