Ambivalenze. Foucault con Freud

Abstract

For Foucault, Freud – as Nietzsche and Marx – is not an author to put under exegesis, but a generator of discursivity that opened new possibilities for thinking. This article attributes the same role to Foucault. By reconstructing Foucault’s understanding of the father of psychoanalysis, it contributes to the history of political philosophy and at the same time to the political philosophy of the present.
