From Kant onwards, the most urgent task of philosophy has been to answer the question: where are we standing? With Foucault, it's about how are we standing? Far from the antipolitical withdrawal imputed to the "last" Foucault, far from any pacifying gymnastics, it is about the postures and adjustments that open the body to another history of the political, the history of another praxis. Philosophy as a body exercise: manasana or the thinker's position. Take position, create position: ontology of the present. The seminars that make up this volume work in detail with the texts and courses developed by Michel Foucault between the late seventies and the year of his death. In this period, Foucault delineates a movement of thought with which Sandro Chignola, for his part, has experimented for years in his own theoretical practice, involved in migratory movements as subjective vanishing lines, desires in act. It is about the displacement of Foucault's analytic of power towards the terrain of governmentality. The Greek itinerary: elliptical government; subject production, parrhesia, processes of subjectivation and lifestyles. Elaborations that will also be incorporated in Marx, with the manufacture of the workers' body, and in Weber, with the forms of life and the vindication of intellectual work as ethics, as a style. Beyond Foucault, Chignola prints in turn two vital adjustments: the counterpoint with Agamben - in whom he warns "passivizing" positions - and a stoical hypothesis, at the heart of his practice, which investigates other ways of life no longer human - and yet possible - in accordance with nature; a "communitarian" twist that opens the concepts of political philosophy to another modernity. Philosophy as a transforming practice.
