The status of realism in Foucault, despite being insistently elaborated, remains elliptical - in part thanks to its association with a set of propositions we could call fictionalist. By reading the texts where Foucault addresses the interarticulation of fiction, universalism and facticity, the article proposes a non-realist reading of his work, which is marked by the refusal not of the real as an object, but of its ontological evidence. Initially, it presents the insufficiencies of the interpretations that demand an ontology, such as Paul Veyne's, as well as of those that replace it with the exceptionality of creation, such as Michel de Certeau's, and the most promising approach to the reading proposed by Giorgio Agambem.. Next, it examines in detail the question of literature as a methodological paradigm, especially in Foucault's references to the work of René Char. Finally, it shows in which sense the enunciation of archeogenealogy's discourse is closer to Fichte's (non)realism - in its unlikely encounter with Blanchot - than to Hegelian dialectics.

In this article we ask, in the first place, in what sense it is possible to speak of "Jesuit philosophy", beyond a formal and circumstantial understanding in the sense that it denotes the philosophical activity transmitted in works of thought produced by the members of the Society of Jesus; If it is possible and pertinent to speak of Jesuit philosophy in a sense not only formal, but also substantive and normative, and what may this imply for the performance of the practice of philosophy itself. Second, we place the character of Jesuit philosophizing and they contribution in the doctrinal, social and epochal context of the so-called Iberian School of Peace, where he shares common methodologies and practical orientations. And thirdly, the principles that animate the Jesuit philosophy for the treatment of the universality and diversity of the human race. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The thought of Gabriel Vázquez offers a philosophical-political-legal vision, based above all on the recta ratio: the core of the Vazquecian position is identifiable in the obligation of the law and, in particular, of human law, which assumes a meaning of universality that goes beyond any legitimate authority that enacts laws. In this context, this essay examines the concept of justice as a concrete work in everyday life through the reading of works such as De Restitutione and Commentariorum ac Disputationum in primam secundae partem Sancti Thomae by Gabriel Vázquez.
