Núm. 15 (2023): Foucault y la Roma clásica
¿La hora de Foucault? Reflexiones sobre el yo romano desde Séneca a san Agustín
University of California, Berkeley
Resumen
El ensayo aborda la idea del yo tal y como se formuló con más frecuencia en la Antigüedad, desde Heráclito hasta Agustín: no como objeto de autoformación y autocuidado, sino como un problema irresoluble que era una fuente de investigación productiva, aunque desconcertante. El yo está menos cultivado que “ilimitado”, menos sujeto a regímenes de verdad y descubrimiento que expuesto, precariamente, a crisis de identidad y coherencia frente a un mundo insondable y en constante cambio. Desde este punto de vista, el yo no se ajusta a los relatos de Foucault, Hadot o Gill. Se utilizan lecturas de Marco Aurelio, Séneca y Agustín para apoyar este primer intento de una imagen alternativa del yo en la Antigüedad.
