What is power according to Foucault?
Isn't Foucault's vision of power essentialist? Doesn't he need to presuppose that there is a tendency to power in human nature, if power is everywhere and immanent? Or is it an emergent property of human relationships?
Is it even only human?
Why does it emerge spontaneously in human relationships? It seems to me that Foucault in what I read of him (The Psychiatric Power, The Anomalous) speaks more of "how" than "why".
Where does power come from? Or else: how does it emerge? Sorry for my English, I'm French.
