The works of Nietzsche and Foucault are distinguished by their pursuit of understanding the relationship between knowledge and power, attempting to answer the question: "What are the active forces that hide behind knowledge and exploit it?". It became clear to them that knowledge is a ruse of power, or will, used to consolidate its position. Nietzsche was, in fact, the first to radically invert the relationship between will and knowledge, and the first to emphasize it as a symbol of power, after all suspicious or critical inquiry into the integrity of knowledge was obscured. From the works of Nietzsche and Foucault, several intellectual projects emerged to uncover the various forces that control the phenomenon of knowledge and direct it for their own purposes. This book seeks to clarify how the relationship between knowledge and power arose and how cultural work became allied with political action.
