Ética y estética de la existencia en Michel Foucault.

The following paper aims to understand the close relationship between ethics and aesthetics in the work of Michel Foucault (1926-1984). It is about making the commitment to make your own life a work of art. In the first place, the notion of art of living as an influence of the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) will be examined; in the second place, its first positions around a hermeneutic of self will be analyzed; in third place, the transition from self-knowledge practices to self-care in the Greco-Roman tradition will be reviewed; and finally, it will be exposed how the ethical mandate of care for the self takes the form of parrhesia, based on Kant's critical philosophy and its consequences for contemporary ethical reflection.
