This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Michel Foucault's short piece "The Subject and Power", found in Power (The Essential Works of Foucault, 1954-1984, Vol. 3). It discusses specifically the type of power relations that he calls "pastoral power", including four main characteristics of it: orientation towards salvation; oblative and sacrificial exercise of power; focus upon the individual; aiming at to knowledge of the soul. Foucault also discusses how pastoral power shifts out of ecclesial settings into political and secular settings in modernity.
