Michel Foucault: Method or Perspective? Horizons and Paradoxes of Intellectual Work (Outlines and Conjectures for the Transmission of Michel Foucault's Work)

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to articulate and structure the following aspects related to a possible conception of the method in Michel Foucault's research and teaching. It will mainly try to show how, during many years of working as a professor, we have considered the problem of method as a question of intelligibility. This essay considers the problem of method, morality, the intellectual's profession and the problematic of his intervention in the field of the social sciences as a horizon of reflection.
