Title: Foucault reader of Kant: anthropology to Aufklärung

Summary: The proposal is to address three perspectives of readings of the work of Kant adopted by Foucault. Between 1961 to 1969 it searches knowledge of archaeological man who emerged from the 18TH century and in the field of philosophy analyzes the relation between the Critical Project and the genesis and structure of Kant's Anthropology emphasizing the subsequent confusion between the empirical and the transcendental in human sciences later in which modern man is explanatory principle and theoretical basis. Between 1970 and 1978, Foucault extends genealogically their archaeological investigations at power relations. In the field of philosophy studies the offset and articulation by Kant among the Critical Project and from the Aufklärung new critical attitude of modern man that seeks to be as subject. The new attitude perceived by Kant in its actuality would be, according to Foucault, similar to the one pointed to by him in his genealogical investigations of transformations of the power relations in the process of arising with the territorial States governmentalization in Europe. The new relationships sought to govern the conduct of individuals who resist and develop a critical attitude. Of the 70 onwards, Foucault aligns to one of two philosophical traditions inaugurated by Kant when analyzes the Aufklärung: – critical ontology of ourselves. The epistemological-transcendental question ' what do I know?», which opens the Critical project, is shifted to the ontological history seemingly contradictory issues: "who are we in our present time?" or "what is this happening?", starting a new ontology that is both an ethical attitude.
