| Abstract | |
In the first lecture of Truth and Juridical Forms, Michel Foucault states that one of his aims is to show that political and economic conditions are not an obstacle to the subject of knowledge, but rather what it is formed by, and therefore the condition for the production of truth. For Foucault, at this point, all knowledge is produced from power relations, and not in spite of them. The main objective of this research is to address the Foucauldian outline of a \"history of truth\", highlighting that it is a type of historical analysis that distances itself from the search for an origin, based on the conception of knowledge as an invention, taken from Nietzsche\'s texts. In the first part of this work, I try to show how Foucault, armed with a certain reading of Nietzsche, distanced himself from a type of thinking referred to at one point as \"academic Marxism\", a tendency that conceives of power as a factor that obscures the subject\'s relationship with truth. In the second part, I try to show in what respect Foucault\'s history of truth in the 1980s - now thought of as a history of the relations between subjectivity and truth - can be thought of with Heidegger and against Heidegger. From these points, the main objective is to demarcate the singularity of Foucault\'s genealogical research, read as studies that include the realm of nontruth in historical analyses of truth (AU) | |
