La inversión del aforismo de Clausewitz: Foucault, lector de Nietzsche y Boulainvilliers

Abstract

This essay focuses on the analysis that Foucault did of the relation between the power, the history and the war in a course that this author gave in 1976, and whose original title was “Il faut défendre la société…”. We will pay particular attention to the influence that on this analysis there had Nietzsche and Boulainvilliers, which served Foucault to indicate the major features of an interpretation of the paper of the war in the history of sign opposite to that of Clausewitz's famous aphorism.
