Summary/Abstract: Michel Foucault (1926-1984), one of the most important and original figures of the 20th century, worked on the issues that are almost exclusively mentioned with his name in contemporary sociology. These include medicine, madness, discipline, punishment and sexuality. In almost all his writings, Foucault placed variables such as power, discourse, knowledge, language, subject and body in an unchangeable center. When examined as a whole, one of the main components of Foucault's sociology is to disclose and criticize power that intends to create a subject through bodies. In other words, one of the main themes of Foucault's extensive and detailed writing is the interconnection of the triad power, body and subject. Therefore, this short article has the problem of summarizing Foucault from such a perspective.
