I learned more from a 9 minute video than a 3 hour class. Thanks Jesus!

The Lord is good.

[@bebeezra]

I am pleasantly surprised by how succinct and high quality this video is.

[@rithikacarol3328]

God bless your soul. This is so easy to understand. It’s 3 AM and I’m able to clearly understand despite being tired

[@getsmartquick]

So basically Foucault is advocating soft power with the guiles of feminine charm if I truly understand this correctly

OMG this playlist is just like a treasure. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@sebastianmartinez4504]

Thank you Victor. Curently going over Foucault in law school. You explain this philosophy so much better than our textbook and our lecturer combined. Great delivery.

[@toobakhanani8775]

I scored an A in my Philosophy course thanks to you. There are many philosophy channels but you are the best

[@ianmcdermott5215]

Can someone please help me on a essay I am writing, In my essay I have been tasked with analysing an organisation operations from a postmodernist perspective using a theme of power as context, I have talked a lot about the repressive power (as mentioned in the essay)so managers exploiting workers, but not so much the normalizing power. What would be an example of this from an organisations point of view?

[@bongamkhize2108]

This just rescued my whole paper...thank you.

[@zirongliu1703]

This is one of the clearest videos on philosophy I've ever watched.

[@joes.2111]

Thank you sir!! I was looking for a video to help me explain Foucault, and until now, have only found misinformation about Foucault’s theories. Not only was this not the case with your video, you also explained it in the most useful, clear and concise terms that very few professors could.

[@bradleygardener1254]

wow my dude - trying to get this a digestable way for students - this hit the spot

[@KEYstisia97]

i've been searching, reading and try to understand this since yesterday. Finally! thank god i find this vids

[@vikrantvijit1436]

Thanks for enlightening me about the most profound powerful perspectives of greatest lord of philosophy in human history of thought forms that transformed whole world.

[@mrs.albertcamus7930]

This is GOLD!!! Thank you so much

[@JosipCmrecnjak]

Actually, most things we can find online about Foucault are rather superficial. You did a great job explaining Foucault's views about how power works through many examples you gave. Thanks for that, it's much appreciated.

[@LTDsaint15]

Hats off to you and your colleagues! Thank you very much!

[@ibtisamelayan3163]

This is amazing. You made Foucault easier to understand. Thank you.

[@kamildemir4337]

I have learnt so much for my political sociology exam. Thanks a lot guys :)

[@dulomdampu2902]

The best you tube teacher i hve ever came across.this is the way a youtube teacher shld deliver a speech ..lucidly and articulately..thank you sir... Kindly make more video on sociology 😍🤗😘

[@TheDoveandme]

I have listened to many talks but you explains simply. Thanks

[@LunaMoon84]

honestly i was scrunching my head so much about this. Thanks

[@TheBigFella]

This was excellent- thank you for taking the time to put it together ❤

[@kokocrisis8882]

A very simple yet clear explanation.

[@vivekjha1185]

Thank you very much for this series. It is really helpful.

[@wombatpuppy4436]

This was the best video of Foucault I saw in the last few days

[@aysoodaagh3167]

Wow! This is truly wonderful!

[@jonassalk2516]

Praise the Lord... this was good...

[@aletheiajak6373]

The best explanation ever! Thank's man.

[@dolphinka]

Thank you for the lecture, so much easier to undertand than the uni lecture I have attended. It makes me think about what's happening now with the pandemic. Back in March 2020, the normalizing power was in place and people were compliant with the lockdown and caring so much about themselves and others. However, with the goverments mix messages, and as a result loss of trust, created a need for repressive power with the scaremongering and discussions about mandating medical treatments (i.e. vaccination).

[@monirashormin528]

I never thought understanding Foucault is so easy. Thanks for the 9-minute video.

[@terrymcternan6917]

This has really helped me in my Critical Understanding of Power within Communities as part of my 2nd year BACD undergraduate course at UofG. Thank you 😊

[@sanjaybohra1]

Great class, looking forward to more.

[@neoepicurean3772]

Great stuff. I'm thinking about studying at Leiden after watching so many of these videos.

[@divankarsingh]

Wow. Thank you for this illumination.

[@henkjanssen1252]

Victor we love you. It's funny, when I was an undergrad I was obliged to follow this guy's course, and it got lost completely on 19 year old me. Now, years later, I come back here out of free will and I can appreciate much more of what Foucault was trying to get at. These videos are very helpful.

[@juancmf9634]

out of free will? jk xD

[@LucKy-kd7fs]

Very nicely and simply explained. I saw many videos related to this but they only used heavy words and made me even more confused than I already was.

[@MrFOXGBI]

Wow... muito bom. Top das galáxias. Agora vai!

[@soumyajyotimukherjee4752]

Thanks man. You're better than an entire semester of classes

[@thebluechipinvestor]

Thanks a lot!! You really simplified Foucault for me!

I share this video every time in class pretty much every semester.

Thank you for this! Great work 👍🏻

[@eleventeenable]

Very simply and nicely explained! thanks, It's finally clear to me

[@yuval8804]

Excellent explanation and delivery!

Thanks. This is very concise and succinct.

[@liliako311]

just awesome lecture with great examples 😍

[@surbhihandajindal793]

this scholar was seriously headache for me! but you ,, have made things very simple ... thank u so much dude......

[@SvartVargSkog]

foucault is a headache and insult for every intelligent person. that happens :)

[@xxx6555]

Foucault is difficult, but not that difficult. Especially the book on which the video was based, Discipline and Punish, is not that difficult. If you insist you even couldn't understand this book, I suggest you test your IQ.

[@superduperjew]

@@xxx6555 anyone that appeals to iq probably lacks it

[@insertintube]

@@xxx6555 - IQ test does not produce nor indicate subjective truth, but rather it is just another category of discursive/normalizing power. It is a reduction of all possible questions we can ask about intelligence into a specific and narrow discourse that is shaped and dominated by a particular Episteme.

Amazing explanation! kudos to the teacher 🤗

[@AadivasiKnowledgeResearch8725]

Watching your video from India🇮🇳. Precise and to the point explanation. Watched others' video too on Foucault, but after watching your video I realized that those videos were like beating around the bush.

[@Vipashayana.]

Love, gratitude and regards from India 🇮🇳❤️

[@shahbazhussain7712]

very nice insight! a big thank to you

[@brandonking2967]

Thanks for this video! I was trying to find a third theorist for my essay on power and you have made up my mind. His view on power is very unique, yet its use almost seems common sense once you are aware of it.

[@arvindraman2200]

If I may ask, who were the other two?

[@kushaldevghimire942]

Best on Contents and personality both!

[@akhilife_t]

Reminds me of Sartre... "the self is the self to others. Without others there is no self."

Where did you find that quote?

[@subekshadahal1424]

Really a clearcut idea about Michiel Foucault: Knowledge and power. Repressive power and normalizing power. he focuses on normalizing power instead of repressive power.

Thank you! It helps for my exam.

[@aleenapaul9427]

Thank you 😊

[@jlupus8804]

When he says “nobody’s free”, I think the more correct approach would be “no one is completely free”. There’s a lot of taboos we can break and still keep our jobs or stay out of jail despite doing so. And we all hold some power over other people, even if we don’t realize it.

[@erinwolf1563]

I hardly like philosophy videos but I just had to like yours... I came here because i have exams today on this complex topic but you made it look too easy and interesting... I'm almost forgetting that I'm studying this for exam, its too interesting 😂😂😂...

[@aal5704]

I just love you

[@valibosoi]

Thank you!

[@eliteenglishlearningcenter3101]

He describes power of two levels: Empirical and theoretical. Empirical comprises three types: sovereign, disciplinary and bio power. In theoretical power, he illustrates the features, characteristics of power and its operation. Force relation is spread throughout the society and can only be seen in interplay.

[@silpa__3740]

U r jst awesome

Thanks for your explainations, it helps me a lot. But i want to ask which Foucault's book discusses about normalizing and repressive power. Thanks
