Resumo: | The objective of this research is to investigate Richard Rorty’s (1931-2007) neopragmatist reading of Michel Foucault’s (1926-1984) conception of subjectivity. Rorty became known as a famous philosopher who opposed the modern conception of the subject, especially the excess of anthropocentrism and scientism. As for the French philosopher Michel Foucault, we can see in the third domain of his theoretical production, the presence of a vigorous investigation into the constitution of the subject. Initially, we can see from his first writings the role played by power and truth as mechanisms that create subjectivity, imposing on subjects ways of being and relating to themselves and others. However, the analysis of the issue of the constitution of the subject is configured in a more limited way in the courses Subjectivity and Truth (1981) and The Hermeneutics of the Subject (1982). Foucault develops an investigation into subjectivity based on the notions of ethics, philosophy, spirituality, sexuality, art of living and self-care, seeking to understand how the subject becomes subjected to power and knowledge, suggesting new modes of subjectivity, different from those proposed by power. However, contrary to what Foucault proposed, the neo-pragmatist North American philosopher Richard Rorty, known for proposing an edifying philosophy, states in his work Contingency, irony and solidarity (2007) that the French philosopher's ideas, although they try to free themselves from the modern conception of subjectivity, still remain tied to it. Thus, the research intends to explore the Rorty arguments that justify objections to Foucault and based on the analysis of specific texts by both authors, it seeks to identify the arguments used by Rorty to accuse Foucault of remaining within the theoretical framework of modernity. |

O objetivo deste artigo foi investigar a leitura neopragmatista de Richard Rorty (1931-2007) sobre a concepção de subjetividade em Michel Foucault (1926-1984). Rorty ficou conhecido como um celebre filósofo que se opôs à concepção moderna de sujeito, sobretudo, o excesso de antropocentrismo e cientificismo. Quanto ao filósofo francês Michel Foucault, pode-se constatar no terceiro domínio de sua produção teórica, a presença de uma investigação vigorosa sobre a constituição do sujeito. Inicialmente, percebe-se desde seus primeiros escritos, o papel que exerce o poder e a verdade enquanto mecanismos criadores de subjetividade, impondo aos sujeitos modos de ser e de relacionar-se consigo e com os outros. Todavia, a análise sobre a questão da constituição do sujeito se configura de forma mais delimitada nos cursos Subjetividade e Verdade (1981) e A Hermenêutica do Sujeito (1982). Foucault desenvolve uma investigação sobre a subjetividade a partir das noções de ética, filosofia, espiritualidade, sexualidade, arte de viver e cuidado de si, buscando compreender como o sujeito torna-se assujeitado pelo poder e saber, sugerindo novos modos de subjetividade, diferentes daqueles propostos pelo poder. Entretanto, contrariamente ao que propôs Foucault, o filósofo norte-americano neopragmatista Richard Rorty, conhecido por propor uma filosofia edificante, afirma na obra Contingência, ironia e solidariedade (2007) que as ideias do filósofo francês, embora tentem se desvencilhar da concepção moderna de subjetividade, ainda se mantêm atreladas a ela. Assim, pretende-se explorar os argumentos rortyanos que justificam às objeções a Foucault, e com base na análise de textos específicos de ambos os autores, se busca identificar os argumentos usados por Rorty para acusar Foucault de permanecer no quadro teórico da modernidade.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2024-05-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/6439210.23925/2316-5278.2024v25i1:e64392Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 25 No. 1 (2024): Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia ; e64392Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 25 n. 1 (2024): Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia ; e643922316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.
