This study examines the various mentions of the idea of “will” throughout the Iranian corpus in order to make explicit and problematize the Foucauldian affirmation of the uprising as an “irreducible fact”. We will demonstrate how an analysis at the level of the various temporalities in which the idea of will is implicated in the Iranian events, gives us a record of specific modes of subjectivation that allow to endow a certain historical and critical intelligibility, to a notion of will never definitely delimited by Foucault. The articulation with the author’s reading of Kant that same year -1978- in Qu’est-ce that critique?, will be capital for the reconstruction of this reflective process, which has in the decisive will of insubordination its event and its enthusiasm.
