Abstract

enSpinoza and Foucault are both two major philosophers. However, they come from different school of thought and different times. This dissertation tends to find convergences between those authors in order to produce an historical and critical analysis of what’s philosophy for them. We find numerous consensuses about some primary subject as Puissance, defined in Spinozism as conatus, or else the intrinsic immanentism in both their philosophies. This work will examine the common points and limitations of both theses’ authors. Also, this work will lead to an afterthought about the practice of Philosophy and the signifiance of It in a necessary socialized and directed world by the multitude of poles of power. Those poles are what makes this world in the first place. Thus this dissertation tends to read Foucault by Spinoza in order to understand Spinozism with the specificities of contemporaneous philosophy.
