Normă și virtute etică la Michel Foucault
Norms and ethical virtues in Michel Foucault’s writings

Summary/Abstract: In the following study, we propose an approach to the problematic of ethical norms, ethical virtues and also to the relationship beneath them, as they are presented in Michel Foucault’s works. Even though at a first analysis it may seem that the interest of Foucault is another (sexuality in History of sexuality) we will search the clues indicating his major interest in the study of morality. This study will also contain a description of the main attributes of an ethical virtue but also of the role that these can or cannot play in the evolution of what is called ethical norms. One of the question we will try to offer an answer is the following: Does an ethical virtue (of a fictional character or a contemporary ‘’hero’’) can influence the evolution of an ethical norm to be imposed to the entire society?
