Abstract

The concept of power is disappointing because it is broad, that theorists and philosophers are still arguing for a single comprehensive definition of power. Power is understood as something possessed by an individual or a group, it also refers to physical and mental strength, while Marxists consider power to be an indicator of the economy. Others think it is the expression of population growth or military power. Thus, this concept occupies a great deal of space in the social and political world, and theorists try to frame this inexhaustible word. Then Michel Foucault emerges with his philosophy and clarifies the meaning of this term. Foucault's philosophy eliminates any framework that defines the concept of power. For him, power is everywhere, and everyone has the right to practice it.
