Il faut défendre la société. Cours au Collège de France, 1976

His perspective on power dynamics and the role of defense in society seem revolutionary. Did anyone find these ideas changing how they see social structures?

It feels like a shift from his previous ideas about power and knowledge. I'm curious if there was a particular event or thought process behind this focus.

The way Foucault ties history to philosophical arguments makes me wonder how much of his analysis is based on specific events versus theoretical frameworks.
