HEY MATE..
Foucault does not take the individual as a given. On the contrary, for Foucault, the individual is not an instrument of the Idea but an "effect of power." Foucault wrote: "The individual is not to be conceived as a sort of elementary nucleus, a primitive atom, a multiple and inert material on which power comes to fasten or against which it happens to strike... In fact, it is already one of the prime effects of power that certain bodies, certain gestures, certain discourses, certain desires, come to be identified and constituted as individuals." (Tribe, 1993) It would seem that power takes a similar in Foucault's theory that the Idea takes in Hegel's. The operative terms (power and Idea) are both universal and pervasively productive. Power, for Foucault, produces knowledges, histories, subjectivity much as the Idea, for Hegel, is the driving force of philosophy, history and the individual.
