FURTADO, Rafael Nogueira. The actuality as a question: ontology of present in Michel Foucault. Nat. hum. [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.1, pp. 144-156. ISSN 1517-2430.

This paper aims to evidence the meaning of "ontology of present", a concept elaborated by Michel Foucault, and intends to elucidate the philosopher's idea that subjectivity is historically formed. The context of the concept's emergence will be analyzed, considering Foucault's studies on the ancient greco-roman moral, in which he discuss the role of liberty and autonomy in the development of citizens. To the philosopher, the ontology of present consists in a critic of the domination and subjugation mechanisms, produced by disciplinary and control societies. With this critic, Foucault pictures theoric tools to analyze the actuality, making possible to transform the historical processes of subjectification.

Palavras-chave : ontology of the present; subjectivity; history; Michel Foucault; actuality.
