Abstract

The purpose of this article is to underline the influence of the thought developed by Nietzsche in his middle period on the later Foucault. Without denying Nietzsche’s influence on Foucauldian genealogy, this article focuses on the figure of the free spirit, which I believe Foucault approaches in his philosophical work. To show this closeness, I develop in detail the Nietzschean idea of life as an essay, and I claim this idea plays a decisive role for both authors in their method and philosophical project. My hypothesis is that we can establish a filiation between Nietzschean critique and Foucault’s critical ontology of ourselves, not only by invoking their genealogical character, but also insofar as both critical projects lead directly to the development of an askesis, to a transformation of the subject through the work of the self.
