CARVALHO, Alexandre Filordi de  e  GALLO, Silvio. In defense of friendship: life’s proofs in the subjecvity wars of the contemporary enmity policies. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.78, pp.1763-1797.  Epub 29-Jan-2024. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v36n78a2022-66281.

This article pays homage to the actuality of the course The hermeneutics of the subject, given by Foucault at the Collège de France in 1982. It is known that the central theme of the course is the care of the self as tekhné tou biou, examined by the philosopher in three moments: Socratic-Platonic, Hellenistic and Christian. However we will take the question of friendship, which crosses the ancient techniques of the self analyzed by Foucault, to problematize our present. After discussing our reception of the course forty years later, we discuss the current moment of neoliberalism and the enmity policies engendered by it, in order to think about the practice of friendship as a counter-conduct, as a practice of resistance. Anarchist friendship as a form of association is taken as a possible war machine against current neoliberal policies of enmity.
