Abstract:

In this paper I maintain the hypothesis that Michel Foucault’s studies do not lead to a negative thought, a circular one, with no alternatives or to a dead-end. Dissolving the notion of constituing subject allows the French thinker to make permanent shifts and open his reflection to a quest leading to the proposal of resistance as an art of existing. In that sense, Foucault`s work, in retrospective, turn around subject: subject objectivized by knowledge and power, and subject in the process of subjectivizing himself.

Keywords: Foucault, power, subject, resistance, ethics.
