FRAGIU, Alberto. BLUMENBERG AND FOUCAULT: THE ANALYSIS OF THE PASTORAL POWER AS AN ESSAY OF POLITICAL METAPHOROLOGY. Univ. philos. [online]. 2013, vol.30, n.60, pp.83-98. ISSN 0120-5323.

In the summer of 1960 Foucault wrote to Blumenberg concerning the organization of a conference by Maurice de Gandillac at the University of Hamburg. The conference was not held and Foucault and Blumenberg did not meet. Additionally to this failed encounter, Foucault ignored or was not interested in Blumenberg's works, nor Blumenberg in Foucault's works. But there is a main aspect in which the thought of both authors could posthumously be complemented: in a "political metaphorology". In this paper I deal on what is perhaps the highest intellectual convergence between Blumenberg's and Foucault's works, that is to say, a metaphorology of power.

Palabras clave : Modern State; governmentality; pastoral power; Oedipus; metaphorology of truth.
