BORGHI, Flavio. Crítica a la modernidad en "El orden del discurso" de Michel Foucault. Cuad. Sur, Filos. [online]. 2006, n.35, pp. 175-186. ISSN 1668-7434.

In his Collège's opening lecture published with the title "El orden del discurso", Michel Foucault approaches the suspicion about certain essential presuppositions of modern western civilization, articulated around the sense and practice of its constituing philosophy and whose remarkable heritage at its peak, comes from Hegel's thoughts. This paper considers said source as the main topic for reflection on the critical exercise of investigating on the characteristic of the subject of modernity with the aim of, according to the author, not remaining confined to the quiet shelter of a universe that does not foresee, contemplate or explain the strategies of power that materialize in the order of the discourse.
