In this article, we will bring the distinction between attachment and detachment, to designate as the relationship of man is not the domain of things, neither of himself, but a detachment that unites the soul with the full dimension of God and free itself. The notions of subjection and obedience show up there in the ontological sense, in which man maintains a link of dependency with the largest dimension. By withdrawing from the position of attachment with itself and with an understanding of being as definitive materiality, man changes the relationship with the world and comes to see and have God in all things, on his release and detachment of categorization and pre-determination.

I intend to discuss in this article some particular uses given by the philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, in The Anti-Oedipus, of the "second dissertation" of On the Genealogy of Morality by Friedrich Nietzsche in order to formulate a political economy of primitive societies through debt problem (debtorcreditor relation) and the cruelty intimately linked. I also would like to present how these practices were essential to avert the formation of the State.

This paper points at the changes on the paradigms which reveal the crisis of sovereignty, the central concept of all theoretical and political structure of modernity, which has its origin and which is supported by the idea of power as a phenomenon which goes beyond man´s objective reality. The crisis of sovereignty brings to light the power as a potency which is manifested through the relation between strengths in the social field. It is this change in perspective that attributes power to historical concrete vein. And it is in this vein that it is set some authors’ point of view, such as Arendt,Foucault and Negri.

The proposal is to rethink the famous Nietzsche´s concept, will to power. It has been tried to make this in three ways: first the concept is seen by the etymology of words. After, some interpretations are exposed and then, it´s tried to look for the concept from its origin text, the passage “On-Self Overcoming”, and others that come before in the work Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

The text Immortality and Eternity: a dialogue around the active life points out three categories: memory, narrative, and immortality. Categories that highlight the action in the world. Immortality is imposed as what is being perpetuated in time for the memory and narration. The notion that should be overcome in this context is the notion of eternity because it throws every action out of human business. This way, our goal is to demonstrate the distinction between active life and contemplative life. To accomplish this objective we based our argumentation on Hannah Arendt’s ideas. The Methodology chosen is the bibliographical research of exegetical feature.

Jean-Paul Sartre and Michel Foucault fought an acute debate about their conceptions of what is History. In the present article we examine the debate between these two authors phocusing on the contributions they have made in their major works of the referred period. In the Critique of Dialectical Reason Sartre explicited a notion of history on the overall perspective of the overcome and transformation of structures by the human praxis, thus determining a fundamental place for the activity of the subject and his consciousness in the history understood as a process of totalization. On the other side, in The Order of Things and in The Archeology of Knowledge, Foucault subscribes his archeology to the broader context of an epistemological mutation of history. Thus, he claims to defend a new methodological practice, unmaking the anthropological subservience that, in his words, permeate an obsolete conception of history. From this point we compreend his objective to deconstruct a determined relationship between dialectics-humanism-history which forges a “great continuous and homogeneous evolution” to where everything converges. Investigating to what extent this archeology aimed at an opposition to the notion of history which has man as a guarantee, that is, a subject who makes history and ensures its continuity, we shall see that the sartrean project of man desalienation meets its limit in Foucault in the form of a historicizing project which aims to reduce the place of this transcendental subject. Finally, we observe how this debate opens new possibilities for thinking the relationship between history and philosophy
