Abstract

The text was divided into four parts: first, I tried to expose the philosophical question about the relationship between freedom, practices of the self, and critique. Next, I answered two questions from the so-called last Foucault: what are such practices of the self and what is the self? Third, I aimed to demonstrate, in light of Foucault and Butler, why such practices must necessarily be critical. And, finally, I intended to show that, for Butler and with which I am in full agreement, there is a practice of the self that is fundamental for us moderns, namely: the practice of the self as a critical account of the self.
