Abstract:
To answer the distinct question that Foucault addresses to psychoanalysis in his 1982 course – would it correspond to the demands of the care of the self ( epiméleia heautoû )? –, we proceed by a logical approximation between the structures of the subject’s conception exposed in his speech, in The Hermeneutics of the Subject , and in the discourse of Lacan, in The Instance of the Letter in the Unconscious or Reason Since Freud . The purpose of the manuscript aims to continue with an unfinished problematization on the part of the French philosopher and to resonate in psychoanalysis a work that still does not have a great reception in the medium.
