Si hoy en día todo el mundo admite que la «cuestión del poder» es uno de los temas centrales de la filosofía de Michel Foucault, no siempre fue así del todo. Él mismo ha reconocido lo difícil que le resultó formularla, a pesar de que ya estuviera implícita en su obra desde la Historia de la locura en la época clásica, y cómo también esa dificultad estaba indudablemente ligada a la situación política. Pues bien, después de Mayo del 68, en la obra de Michel Foucault se produce un cambio. Este texto que ahora presentamos marca precisamente ese giro en el que Foucault abandona la primacía discursiva, la primacía de la arqueología, para elaborar el método genealógico que constituye el primer paso hacia un análisis del poder. El genealogista examina las relaciones entre el poder, el saber y el cuerpo en la sociedad moderna, y establece un diagnóstico. Podría decirse que este pequeño ensayo, no por ello menos importante, contiene el germen de su obra de los años 70.

Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, social theorist and historian of ideas. He held a chair at the Collège de France with the title "History of Systems of Thought," but before he was Professor at University of Tunis, Tunisia, and then Professor at University Paris VIII. He lectured at several different Universities over the world as at the University at Buffalo, the University of California, Berkeley and University of São Paulo, University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Foucault is best known for his critical studies of social institutions, most notably psychiatry, medicine, the human sciences and the prison system, as well as for his work on the history of human sexuality. His writings on power, knowledge, and discourse have been widely influential in academic circles. In the 1960s Foucault was associated with structuralism, a movement from which he distanced himself. Foucault also rejected the poststructuralist and postmodernist labels later attributed to him, preferring to classify his thought as a critical history of modernity rooted in Immanuel Kant. Foucault's project was particularly influenced by Nietzsche, his "genealogy of knowledge" being a direct allusion to Nietzsche's "genealogy of morality". In a late interview he definitively stated: "I am a Nietzschean." Foucault was listed as the most cited scholar in the humanities in 2007 by the ISI Web of Science.
