Abstract
The establishment of the brain as a decoding matrix of human behavior favored the use of drugs as a strategy to face organic conditions, considered obstacles to the production and consumption of goods and services. Life has become cerebral. Professionals of the “brain” entered schools and transformed the so-called “abnormal” personality and behavior of students into medical problems a neurochemical life, the result of the molecular effects of brain stimulants, the establishment of a neoliberal pharmaceutical eugenics that produces subjectivities that produce an immaterial good, knowledge. Contrary to the current neoliberal eugenics movement, authors such as Nikolas Rose, Paul Preciado, Antonio Negri, and Maurizio Lazzarato, indicate that the so-called “unfit” can offer us new maps, new routes for the establishment of an existence-affirming life, resistant to the processes encapsulation of the society of control and pharmacopower. This article materializes the philosophy of medicine, a new concept in Brazil that chooses the issue of cognitive production as an object to think about the effects of the medicalization of life in the present time.
