Abstract

The issue this text is to look critically explain how Foucault drew this relationship between government of others and government itself. Our reading of Foucault texts lead us to believe that any characterization of the christian ethic of meat can be read as a counterpoint to the greek self-care. If this reading is sustainable, we believe that the christian epimeleia ton allon, understood as a set of technologies intended for the subjection, is related to governmentality too narrowly. Our intent is to argue that studies of self-care from classical Greek were a priority alternative to built a self-constitution of a subject not subjected. We will find out to determine how Foucault understood the self-care as a good command of his own passions to the point of proposing an aesthetics of existence as an alternative ethical-political.
