This paper aims to discuss the place of philosophy teaching in the technical secondary school of Instituto Federal do Paraná (IFPR). From Foucault’s theoretical perspective, this study aims to contribute to the discussion of philosophy teaching by promoting two problematizations: first, as a critical attitude of the subjectivity required in technology education, confronting the construction of a subjectivity subjected to the human capital model with an autonomous subjectivity that is self-constructed; second, to identify the philosophical thought as an authentic téhkne, which suggests another experience with the technique, breaking the objectivity of the modern technique. Rescuing the concepts of the Greek téhkne and modern aufklärung, it argues that one of the roles of philosophy in technical education is to allow the unique experience of self-care. Thus, we think the place of philosophy teaching as an experience space: where we must question the technique (as Heidegger calls) and take care of ourselves (as pointed out by Foucault).

Keywords : Philosophy teaching; Subjectivity; Technologies of the self; Self-care.
