Para acabar con la verdad-demostracion. Bachelard, Canguilhem, Foucault y la historia de los "regimenes de verdad"
Résumé
The aim of this article is to investigate the meaning and the scope of Michel Foucault's "history of truth", i.e. his history of the relationship between truth, power and subjectivity in western societies. My basic argument is that Foucault's history of truth has to be understood as an ethical and political task, far more than as an epistemological one, since it is clearly presented as a study of the different truth-regimes which represent the conditions of possibility for the government of human beings and, at the same time, the conditions of intelligibility for the processes of subjectivation in which these human beings are involved. The distinction between truth considered as an "event" and truth as "demonstration", together with the opposition between ancient and modern conceptions of truth, will be the essential framework to evaluate Gaston Bachelard's epistemology and Georges Canguilhem's claim that there does not exist any "philosophical truth". The concluding paragraphs try to show that modern anatomo- and bio-political relations of power still rely heavily on the epistemological concept of truth, and to suggest one positive way to resist this epistemological-political apparatus.
El objetivo de este articulo es investigar el significado y el alcance de la "historia de la verdad" de Michel Foucault, es decir, su historia de la relación entre verdad, poder y subjetividad en las sociedades occidentales.
