Abstract
This article aims to propose a horizon of virtualization of Foucauldian research on the care of the self in classical Antiquity, through the interpellation of the figure of Anthropos as an operator of our current modes of thought. To this end, the work initially articulates the discussions present in the course The hermeneutics of the subject, taught in 1982 at the Collège de France, with regard to issues related to the man/human form; these are raised by the confrontation of two historical documents of an anthropological-ethnographic nature: Argonauts of the Western Pacific, in 1922, by Bronislaw Malinowski, and In the Eye of the Wild, in 2019, by Nastassja Martin. The study points to the ethical implictions of this discussion both in the philosophical and the educational-philosophical fields, by focusing on the limits of transcendental categorizations that set the boundaries between humans and non-humans. Such implications force educational actuality towards the gesture of refusal of the subject, manifested in the form of man/human, as an universal, calling on education to pay attention to the forces of life itself in its continuous variations.
