Öz In this paper, the relation of law and violence is being addressed within the frame of the thoughts of Foucault. Thus, first it was examined what law and violence means, and then it was tried to reveal how Foucault approaches the subject. Foucault deals with the problem of law in the context of power relations. At this point, it is being observed that there is a connection among state, law and violence. In addition, it is also being observed that body is the object of violence and law functions as an interference to the living space of the individual. In this study, all these problems will be tried to be discussed.
