¿Qué quiere decir pensar? Acerca de la noción de problematización en Michel

Abstract

This article attempts to undertake, within the framework of the Foucaultdevice, a formal analysis of the notion of problematization, which ought to reveal the essential and architectonic role that such notion plays in the French philosopherʼs works. All of it insofar as this notion confers unity and, at the same time, sets differences in the foucaultian researches. An aim will be to point out how the study of the single forms of everyday experience, practices or ways of doing and thinking carried out by Foucault leads, as to his form and domain of constitution and transformation, to «problematization» (thoughtʼs «differential element») and its specific history, thus breaking with the Marxist solution (social history), futile as regards thinking the structural nature of thought and its effects on history (the fact that there are events in thought), as well as with the phenomenological suggestion (analytic of existence, philosophical anthropology), unable to radically think thoughtʼs historicity.
