Abstract

The present article aims to reflect on the concept of education subject and the implications correlated to his upbringing process. From this perspective, we question whether it is possible to think of another concept of education subject from the third Foucault. The notion of care of the self is mobilized to produce curious insights on the constitution of the subject from an ethics of liberty, thus, encouraging other forms of conceiving the current formative experiences.
