Análise da verdade em Foucault

Abstract

This dissertation intends to elaborate an open and perspective analysis that build the way for possible contributions to the objective of answering the following question: can the truth be an element of agglutination of concepts in Foucault's philosophy? The hypothesis shifts the traditional Foucauldian interpretation - which traditionally takes the power as the guiding line of his thoughts - to the consideration of his concept of truth as a unifying element in his work, with the pondering that power is present in the entire backdrop of Foucault's philosophy. To follow this path, firstly, the relationship between truth and Foucault's philosophical conception of knowledge was approached, followed by the will to know, the will to truth, the subject, and the power. Subsequently, the ramifications of these questions within Foucault's work were pointed, beginning from the archaeological approach to the genealogical perspective, and the subjection of the subjectivity to self-governance, to governability, and to ethics.
