Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of objectification in Foucault seen as a problem of power; the author dwells on how Foucault reworks the con- cept of a priori central to Kant’s thought. Presuming that objectification is a question of situation how is it possible to experience objectification as something that transcends the situation that has produced it? The author’s thesis is that Foucault has tried to resolve the contradiction within Kant’s definition of a priori (as a condition that makes experience possible) by conceiving of the historical a priori and of commentary as a way of controlling the randomness and eventfulness of discourse.
