Arqueología y genealogía en Michel Foucault

Abstract

Foucault tries to demonstrate how the great task proposed by critic is to be in alert before the truth speeches throughout our diverse and multiple moral practices. We must focus on a history of the present time, a history that dissolves the great idealizations and, with its pass through concepts, proposes a decomposition of the facts that lie behind them. This means that the pillars supporting the traditional history (systematicity, continuity and consensus) would be affected now by a suspicion on the speech of truth that supports this fact. In other words Foucault, adopting the genealogical view of Nietzsche, proposes to focus on the forms of power that can be seen in every fact, emerge from every moral practice and carry the fate of the randomness and of the contingent.
