LORIO, Natalia  and  TORRANO, Andrea. Filosofía, crítica y práctica de sí: entre Wittgenstein y Foucault. Tópicos [online]. 2017, n.34, pp.48-74. ISSN 1666-485X.

Although Wittgenstein and Foucault belong to different traditions - Wittgenstein belongs to Analytic philosophy, and Foucault to Continental philosophy- it is possible to indicate some common problems about what they understood as philosophical activity. In this article we will focus on the philosophical activity from the notions of critique and practice of the self. Both Wittgenstein and Foucault carry out a critique of the traditional way of understanding philosophy and the way of doing philosophy. Likewise, the philosophical task involves a practice of the self, which can be considered like propaedeutic -Wittgenstein- or as parrhêsia -Foucault.

Keywords : Philosophy; Critique; Practice of the self; Wittgenstein; Foucault.
