This manuscript attempts, through a succinct reflection, to realize how Foucault’s theory of the Care of the Self could be understood as an alternative to overcome the identity mechanisms of neoliberal control, thanks to the active relationship that the subject develops with the truth. In the understanding that the abandonment of the space of the norm and the knowledge of that, and its location at the service of the self-formation of the subject, would favor the development of a full and coherent relationship of each individual with himself or herself.
Keywords:
Care of the Self, truth, subjectivation, parrhesia, neoliberalism
