GENIS, Andrea Diáz. The contribution of philosophy and culture to the good life of a precarious body. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2019, vol.33, n.68, pp.659-684. Epub Aug 30, 2021. ISSN 1982-596X. https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v33v68a2019-51967.
Can you left a good life from a bad life? From this question asked by Butler, we have the purpose of reflecting on the case of César Gonzalez ( ex criminal of the misery village in Argentina that comes out of that situation and becomes a writer and filmmaker). Based on Martha Nussbaum's capabilities approach and the importance of caring for oneself in human formation (concept worked by us since the last Foucault), self-care and self-knowledge. It is also a reflection on the importance of philosophy linked to human development, critical thinking and creative imagination and is a reflection on the scope and relevance of education and culture in the transformation of subjects and their lives.
Keywords : Precarious lives; Capability Approach; Self of care; César González.
