Summary/Abstract: Knowledge, Power, Thinking. Michel Foucault’s epistemological itinerary. The paper shows the interdependence between the notions of knowledge and power in Michel Foucault’s outlook on speech, history and the strategies of power carried over by confession. The paper focuses on the History of sexuality, highlighting its means of expression, and the ways in which the Greek doctrine of lust and the Christian doctrine of fidelity define different models of subjectiveness.
