Six figures of time in Michel Foucault

Collège International de Philosophie, 1 rue Descartes, F-75005 Paris, France; pmichon{at}magic.fr

In a genuine Nietzschean way, Michel Foucault always refused to develop a definitive theory of time and preferred to produce local and non-explicit theories, adapted to each one of the objects that he was studying. As much as being, time cannot be but interpreted and subjected to a multiplicity of perspectives. I tried to reconstruct these various conceptions of time following Foucault from book to book and situating his work among some of the great modern philosophical movements (historicism and phenomenology), but also according to the internal logic of his research.

Key Words: Foucault • genealogy • historicity • modernity • Nietzsche
