Comment on the text Pragmatism in the last Foucault by Rossella Fabbrichesi

Abstract

This comment was presented at the 16th International Meeting on Pragmatism at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP) and points out the provocative form in which Professor Rossella Fabbrichesi from the University of Milan analyses the theme of the true life, in the late Foucault. In emphasizing the critical attitude with reference to the present broached by Foucault in his course of 1982-1983, this small text aims at understanding the reason why Foucault, in an article Qu’est-ce que Les Lumière?, 1984, relegates Kant to a subordinate position in relation to Baudelaire.
