Power represents the form of relationship that reveals one of the fundamental anthropological dynamics (dialectics between capabilities and limit) and specially connotes one of the fundamental dimension for human kinds as social beings (the Politics). This paper is an attempt to analyse some power anthropological sources and the issue of their paradoxical nature: coercion, constraint and violence; recognition, autonomy and control; dependence, equality and liberty. Our aim is: 1) to accept the power as the result of the human bounderies, that restricts the subject involved in its relationship and asks itself for a bound as well; 2) to understand that power usually finds its sense in the promotion of the Good, because the Good constitutes the origin and the assignment of the same relationship.

Abstract

Power represents the form of relationship that reveals one of the fundamental anthropological dynamics (dialectics between capabilities and limit) and specially connotes one of the fundamental dimension for human kinds as social beings (the Politics). This paper is an attempt to analyse some power anthropological sources and the issue of their paradoxical nature: coercion, constraint and violence; recognition, autonomy and control; dependence, equality and liberty. Our aim is: 1) to accept the power as the result of the human bounderies, that restricts the subject involved in its relationship and asks itself for a bound as well; 2) to understand that power usually finds its sense in the promotion of the Good, because the Good constitutes the origin and the assignment of the same relationship.
