Abstract

in this article, I analyze some of the pleasures that play an important role in Foucault’s ethic
conception. First, I examine the most important argument about the idea of ethics as an æsthetic of
existence. Then, I intend to characterize the importance that the pleasures play in the present theory. For
this purpose, I consider in the article “Desire and pleasure” the disagreement between Foucault and
Deleuze, showing why Deleuze refuses the role of pleasure on construction of subjectivity. Finally, I will
show the significance and limitations of pleasures in Foucault’s present ethics
