Abstract

This article focuses on the concept of government made from some philosophical approaches of thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Peter Sloterdijk, Giorgio Agamben and others. An argument about some ways human beings have been manufactured unfolds. First, a terminological exploration from an anthropological perspective of the verb “to rule” is made to define the scope of this reflection. Subsequently, a shift gaze to the ways humans are conducted is done, both from a collective and individual point of view.
