This article aims to discuss care oneself by Michel Foucault in his studies about the greco-roman civilization, analyzing how care practices to oneself and to others – when articulated the ethics dimension and practices of freedom – conduct to a questioning politics, in what concern about government of others. On the other hand, Foucault’s writings also relate care oneself to an active stance (ethical-political) the subject, consisting, therefore, a possibility of resistance to biopower – commonly linked to control technologies and monitoring of subjects. As bibliographic references this article uses of volumes the History of Sexuality, linking them to courses The hermeneutics of the subject and The government of self and others, taught by Foucault at the Collège de France, as well as some his relevant interviews and analysis from commenters.
