El concepto de poder en Michel Foucault

The purpose of this article is to present the main ideas of the political thought of Michel Foucault, related to the study of different kinds of power; he specifically researched the so-called “molecular homes” of power. The research is documentary and based on an exhaustive bibliographical review of the legacy that Foucault left to the world of political philosophy. The author treats deeply the concept referred to as the “returns to knowledge”, which allowed the hidden historical contents to make its appearances in what he defines as insurrection of subjugated knowledge (the vision of power).
