Genealogy of Ethics
The article deals with Foucault’s ethical content of care of oneself.
The project of genealogy of ethics of М. Foucault is discussed. The subject of the
article is ethical problems and ethical prospects of Foucault’s conception. We are
considering not only his famous book of the same name, which is included in the
trilogy on the history of sexuality, but also a number of other texts of the 1980s
related to the study of practices and techniques of existence. First of all, this is the
lecture course “Hermeneutics”, taught by Foucault at the College de France in the
1981–1982 school year, as well as other lecture courses from this period and a
project on the genealogy of ethics. In this article, we will be interested in how
Foucault’s concept of “taking care of yourself” is included in the problem field of
his “genealogy of ethics”, and how it relates to the topic of ethical poetics – ethical
poesis as a constitution / formation of an ethical subject.
