International audience ; The interpretation of the greco-latin Antiquity developed by Michel Foucault in his last published books and his last lectures at the Collège de France makes little room to Neoplatonism. The only text which deals with it, L'Herméneutique du sujet, presents Neoplatonism as a simple continuation of Plato's philosophy, akin to the so-called "Platonic model" of the concern with oneself, to be then confronted by Foucault to the Hellenistic-roman and the Christian models. However, the Neoplatonic commentators of Alcibiades provided Foucault with crucial distinctions, like "political" and "cathartic" for instance, which are the common base and link of the three models that are built upon them. Furthermore, this architectonic part played by the late Neoplatonists goes along with an almost complete omission of another Neoplatonist, Plotinus, the works of which would seem at first sight far more consonant with a reading determined by the notion of "spiritual exercices". This use of the Neoplatonism, excluding some trends and focussing on some others, reveals Foucault's choices, and casts some light on his own style of interpretating history of ancient philosophy. ; L'interprétation de l'Antiquité gréco-latine que Michel Foucault développe dans ses derniers ouvrages publiés et ses derniers cours au Collège de France fait peu de place au néoplatonisme.

The interpretation of Greek-Latin Antiquity developed by Michel Foucault in his latest publications and courses at the College of France makes little place for neoplatonism. The hermeneutical nature of the subject, the only text in which it is discussed with any attention, presents it as a mere extension of the philosophy of Platon, which is part of the 'platonician model' of self-concern, which Foucault faces with the Greek-Roman and Christian models, but it is among the neoplatonician commentators of the Alcibiade that Foucault finds some distinctions. in particular, between 'politics' and 'cathartic', which underpin the construction and articulation of these three models, this architectural role of late neoplatonicians goes hand in hand with the almost complete absence of another neoplatonism, that of Plotin, which at first sight seems to find its place better in an approach characterised by 'spiritual exercises'. The treatment of Neoplatonism is therefore symptomatic of the foucaldian reading of the history of ancient philosophy, which is built both by its exclusions and by its focus. ; International audience The interpretation of the greco-latin Antiquity developed by Michel Foucault in his last published books and his last lectures at the Collège de France makes little room to Neoplatonism.
