CANDIOTTO, Cesar. A genealogia da ética de Michel Foucault. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.53, pp.217-233. ISSN 1982-596X.

The questioning on ethics, that one can principally observe in Foucault’s last writings, was, during a long time, insufficiently analyzed in comparison with the studies about the analytic of power and archeology of knowledge. Although it has initially been made explicit, from the study on the sexual behavior of the ancient Greek and Imperial Roman citizens, it is not the deepening of this domain which really interests us in this essay. Rather, it is important to analyze how ethics is singularly situated vis-àvis the morals and what are the elements that constitute it. Furthermore, we maintain that the ethical question in Foucault’s investigation aims at elaborating a diagnostic of our historical being; consequently, we keep at a distance of any moral foundation in contemporary thought.

Palabras clave : Foucault; Genealogy; Ethics; Morals; Subjectivity; Thought.
