The consequence of this statement is that to be a teacher , a supervisor, or the act of writing a text is to contribute to creating with others. And when we are to learn something with a teacher, a supervisor, or in a text, we will experience degrees of freedom or resistance in the process. The supervisor’s, teacher’s , or writer’s way of applying their power will affect our response, and what and how we learn. Foucault’s central point is that relationships without power relations do not exist. At the same time, he expresses a moral towards us, when trying to contribute to learning for others:

“Relations of power are not something bad in themselves, from which one must free one’s self. I don’t believe there can be a society without relations of power, if you understand them as means by which individuals try to conduct, to determine the behaviour of others. The problem is not of trying to dissolve them in the utopia of a perfectly transparent communication, but to give one’s self the rules of law, the techniques of management, and also the ethics , ethos, the practice of self, which would allow these games of power to be played with a minimum of domination ” (Foucault, 1987, p. 129).
