Abstract

This paper maintains that it is possible to recover as a Foucauldain legacy – for contemporary debates about the specificity of philosophical work - the centrality of the notion of problematization, understood as an indicator of a specific object of analysis; archeology, as a privileged way of accessing it; and the history of thought as a major enterprise in which object and mode of access are registered. Thus, the paper investigates, in the first part, the specificity of Foucauldian problematization as an object of interest for intellectual work. In this instance, two senses of the notion of problematization are discussed through some references made on Carol Bacchi´s work. In a second moment, the paper explore the way in which the analysis of the forms of problematization is integrated into the project of a history of thought. For this, the notions of thought and problematization are linked from the specificity of the games of truth. This direction indicates the path to the last part of the writing, in which the constituent elements of archeology are recovered - assumed as a privileged access mode for the analysis of the problematization forms - in the greater framework of a history of thought.
