A «transgressão do universal»: o intelectual e o poder em Michel Foucault

From the correlation, postulated by the thought of Michel Foucault, between the exercise of the power and manifestation of the truth, this paper aims to retrace the political demands of his philosophy, linking them to the figure of an intellectual type who has no more basis for the defense of universality, but its political and theoretical transgression - it means: "political" because "theoretical".

power; truth; transgression of the universal; ethics and genealogy
