DOMINGUEZ SANCHEZ, Mario. Foucault -liberalism and criticism to political philosophy. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2012, n.16, pp.187-212. ISSN 1794-2489.

In avoiding modern and contemporary political philosophy's dicomotized abstractions, Michel Foucault has not intended to rebuild a transcendental, rational and normative whole, or rationally legitimate values, but to study the practices themselves in a given society, and the changes they generate. Stressing the individual's self-shaping practices displays in front of us a whole dynamic view of subject and freedom, which make up an inverse face of «docile bodies», or those of the subject emerged from the grid power/ knowledge. Foucault's genealogy may be broadened to demonstrate liberalism is a set of practices for subject constitution. it is a liberalism, which -after creating the police program to produce person categories-, is able to provide the conditions necessary for the game of freedom and to regulate behavior in terms of corporativity.

Palabras clave : political philosophy; governmentality; liberalism; power; subjectivity.
