Summary:This paper intends to rise the following questions: 1. how is it possible to reconstruct the moral sense according to self-esteem whose content is given less by negation or isolation from the other than by personal work about oneself, with an eye to an êthos, of an ethics? 2. nowadays, can the value of morals be dislocated from the universal law to an attitude of difference, from the normality of behavior to oneself’s improvement and, at last, from truth about the individual to an ascetical subjectivation that does not require the prerogative of an identity, but the transformation of the self in relation to itself and to others? Such questions are raised from Friedrich Nietzsche’s, Michel Foucault’s and Fernando Savater’s.
