The question of subject in Foucault

Abstract

Based on a synthetic demarcation on the three phases of Michel Foucault’s research, we sought to highlight the importance and necessity to review the question of subject in his work, particularly after his research on ethical issues in ancient Greece and Rome. It was concluded that this review has important consequences to guide researches in Psychology or Human Sciences in general.

Keywords: Foucault; subject; subjectivation; ethics
