Abstract


As a great French philosopher in the 20th century , Foucault resisted the social power system period between birth and death in his thinking and behavior . He criticized the modern social power system , which was an essential component of his academic thinking . Power has been expiaining in macrocosm and looked as merely the instruments of govering the country from past time till now . But, Foucault was influenced by Nietzsche’s theory of power , he analysed various overt and covert power which spread throughout the society and prevail in each person’s flesh and spirit, sensory and thinking in microcosm . Modern power mode of power /knowledge was gived by Foucault in the course of criticizing the humanities with his genealogy methods . He believed that development of all branches of knowledge in the humanities was inextricably linked with implementation of power. Power and knowledge was mutual , power disciplined and molded the subjects by establishing psychiatry , sociology , psychology and so on , but knowledge preserved and developed itself by supposing and forming power. Knowledge was the most powerful tool of power, power was fully realized by the power -knowledge -subject. He proved the power by the formation of psychiatric , medicine , criminology , various penal institution and the exploration of sex and so forth . Foucault’s analysis of the modern power was an enormous libration for the traditional political power theory . The field of power was extended to every corner of the fabric of society, and the relations of power was permeated every capillary of human life, he concerned with the operation of the micro-power ,which provided us with a new perspective and an opportunity to study moder power , which indicated that the times of dropping of the rationality and declining of the subjects was coming .
