GARCES GIRALDO, Luis Fernando  y  GIRALDO ZULUAGA, Conrado. Self care and caring for others in Foucault's work, a principle to build care bioethics. discus.filos [online]. 2013, vol.14, n.22, pp.187-201. ISSN 0124-6127.

According to Foucault's thought, self care is ethical by definition and involves the relationships with others, because self care enables people to be an occupant of the city, a community member or to have inter-individual relationships, in a convenient position. The problem of the relationship with others is present throughout the development of self care. From this base, and also from biopolitics, this paper reflects to build guiding principles for care bioethics, with Foucault's thought. Even though there are no evidences to say that Foucault spoke about bioethics, his reflections about biopolitics get in the bioethics area and provide elements concerning this discipline, regarded by many authors as recent and yet to be built. The relationship between bioethics and biopolitics, implicitly given by Foucault, is shown in this reflection.

Palabras clave : bioethics; biopolitics; self care; caring for others; Foucault.
