| Summary: | In this reflection, we focus on the contiguity between the relations of Foucault with Kant’s thought building on the theme that involves the affinities between subjectivity and history. Therefore, we take into consideration specifically two texts: the article What is Enlightenment?, 1984, and the complementary thesis Genesis and structure of Kant’s anthropology, 1961. As a method, we adopted a backward reading, that is, from elements drawn from reflections of the 1980s, we try to hint at some possible resonances between subjectivity and history in Foucault’s 1961 thesis. Without losing sight of the constant changes on his thought, by doing that we delimit a specific field of problems in the development of Foucault’s thought. |
