This article argues that Foucault's criticism of Humanism is before all a self-criticism that became possible by Foucault's discovery of a tight link between Human Sciences and human negatives experiences. The radicalization of negative leads Foucault to a subjectless experience and brings his original foundational project to an end, as well as all surface on which human being can settle. Therefore, Foucault had to overcome dialectic plots, the true origin of all Humanisms, and its endless game of "self" and "other".
