The interaction between
power and resistance requires an analysis of both Foucault and Negri. Foucault stated that power existed in particular relationships which converted human bodies into productive and docile units. Negri proposed that constituent power is the inherent human creative force that can escape the various forms of discipline. Both power and resistance occur on the local level, power developing into transcendent laws and normality while resistance must organize into the multiplicity of the multitude.
The use of
philosophy within the field of social science recognizes that concepts exist before the experience of empirical facts within a system of meaning. All scientific practices are subsets of a system of meaning which make understanding possible. Systems of meaning create rules that are followed in the relationship between reasons and actions in a social context.
