From Social Immobility to Overcoming the Will to Knowledge:

An analysis of the Aristotelian discourse based on the Foucaultian criticism

Abstract

This succinct academic paper is about the use of analogue models so as to justify exclusionary discourses and practices in the Politics by Aristotle – and by analogue models here it is not merely meant only any analogy to the natural world such as the way in which other living beings organize themselves in society, but to the use of any model structures of a moralistic nature, which lacks a more in-depth philosophical reflection. Against these types of ethical and reasoning inaccuracies, both for those who carry and those who receive those discourses, this article highlights the value of the Foucauldian thought to an equitable political practice nowadays.
