Description
Summary:İt is possible to claim that efforts to reveal the connection between allegations of truth and power relationships by means of establishing a geneology of moral which is the practical embodiment of Western thought in general and the mentioned approach in particular, have become one of the most debated issues in Western philosophy as of Nietzsche. Such discussion , which also constitues the framework of hereby study, concentrates on how the allegations of truth serve in favour of interests of certain powers and as an oppressive function through legitimisation of domination via allegations of knowledge and truht, as well as subsequent disregard of differences, constitutes the central axis of Foucault’s philosophy. As a Nietzschan Foucault applies the method of geneology on the society and traces the relations of domination in connection with knowledge -power relation in modern society.
