Biopolitique, gouvernement et libéralisme chez le dernier Foucault

His research in political philosophy, on the other hand, has received little attention. This master's thesis aims to give an account of the modern political power starting with its first great technological form: biopolitics. Giving the initial account of biopower presented in La volonté de savoir, I defend the idea that the power over life, on the rise as a very important political question, must also be seen as a foundation of classical liberalism. Even if biopolitics is constitutive of the birth of capitalism, we will show that it nonetheless differs from the economic power as theorised by Marx in the 1844 Manuscripts and Capital. Our goal is to show that liberalism cannot be reduced to economics and that biopolitics allows for positive transformation. Finally, we will show that liberalism appears as a theory of government that exceeds, on Marx's economist reading, the moral interpretation that it is traditionally associated with.
