Exegetical studies concur in reprising counter-conducts to think the link of the government with ethics in Michel Foucault´s works between the late seventies and the early eighties. In this frame, we propose to reconstruct the strategic understanding of the will suggested by the french thinker as a key to: 1. reconsider the relations between subjection and subjectivation from the “obligation of truth”; 2. clarify that the reflexive relationship of the self is not an isolated space with respect to the relations of government, and 3. contemplate the recreation of the omnes et singulatim bond from the idea of “political spirituality” that Foucault connects with the emergence of a collective will. Throughout these points, our aim is to expose how the practices of freedom involve complex operations of acceptance and rejection which constitute them as counter-strategic more than anti-strategic in the face of the government
