In the article the technologies of self-reflection described by Seneca in his moral essays are discussed. The analysis is based on Foucault’s distinction between two conceptions of technologies of the self created in Antiquity and Early Christianity. One of them is related to an idea of self-studying and auto-creation with reference to social (or religious) rules, what was the main principle in Christian system. Different conception concerns technologies of the self understood as a care of the self in absolute meaning. It is an idea in which happiness and good of an individual are formulated from the subjective point of view. Senecan concept of selfworking is the specific fusion of these two conceptions. Mnemonic technologies discovering Nature’s order in a human being are connected with independence on external world of objects. This stoic view modified by Seneca, who had focused his attention on a role of will and conscience in an examination of the self, is the main issue discussed in this article.

L’article traite de la notion d’auto-réflexion décrite dans les essais de Séneque. La base de l’analyse est la distinction faite par Foucault, qui a identifié deux catégories des techniques de soi. Considérant les concepts auto-défini dans l’Antiquité et au début du christianisme, Foucault indique la méthode de Séneque comme l’idée reflétant ces deux catégories. Dans ce concept Séneque combine la conception stoicienne de la nécessité de découvrir les principes de la nature chez l’homme avec l’idée d’indépendance par rapport au monde extérieur, tant en physique et mentale. Cette méthode exige un engagement de volonté et de conscience, que Séneque définit comme un témoin et un juge d’ humain. Une création de soi dans le systeme de Séneque a été conçu pour développer une attitude de consentement a la réalité crée par fatum. Travailler sur soi doit conduire a une situation d’etre en harmonie avec soi-meme compatible avec une situation de consentir a des conditions de fatum.

In the paper Care of the self and human development the author would like to draw readers` attention to the concept of self-care. This concept, according to the Czech philosopher Jan Patočka, is crucial for humanity formation. Patočka and another 20 century thinker Michel Foucault tried to revive the tradition of the care of the self. It is a matter of fact that this tradition lost its significance in the modern time partially because of the growing importance of scientific approaches toward human being. Despite this, care of the self can still be an important element in the human life. Care of the self can be understood as an alternative in the world dominated by scientism and instrumentalism because it tries to see human development as a process in which two approaches scientific and spiritual become one in the art of living.

The ethical constitution of the subject in Michel Foucault’s work relies on the way truth is perceived, and on the way the knowledge of truth is produced. Foucault understands subjectivity as constituted socio-historically by means of particular techniques, which he refers to as “Technologies of the Self.” The main focus of this paper is to present the way in which two different kinds of approaching the truth, the modern scientific and the ancient Greek one, develop different kinds of technologies as ways of forming the subjectivity. It is maintained that the ancient technology of the care of the self can be especially meaningful in contemporary society from an ethical and political perspectives.

The purpose of this article is twofold. On the one hand I highlight the focus of the Foucauldian liberation project; on the other hand I want to justify this project on an ontological level by introducing a “machine language” (inspired by the two-volume work Capitalism and Schizophrenia of Deleuze and Guattari). For this purpose I construct a research mini-tool whereby the difference between discipline and regimen will be analyzed. Moreover, in conclusion, I point out some weaknesses of the project offered by the author of The History of Sexuality which are revealed by the perspective I propose.

Cel niniejszego artykułu jest dwojaki. Z jednej strony zamierzam wskazać, w którym miejscu leży punkt ciężkości Foucaultowskiego projektu wolnościowego, z drugiej – pragnę ów projekt uzasadnić na poziomie ontologicznym poprzez wprowadzenie „języka maszynowego” (wyraźnie zainspirowanego dwutomowym dziełem Capitalisme et schizophrénie Deleuze’a i Guattariego). W tym celu skonstruuje pewne mininarzędzie badawcze, za pomocą którego będę analizował różnicę pomiędzy dyscypliną a reżymem. Ponadto w zakończeniu wskażę kilka słabości propozycji autora Historii seksualności, które ujawniają się dzięki zaproponowanej przeze mnie perspektywie.

This article deals with the dilemma related to the purpose of upbringing. M. Foucault's concept of care of the self and J. Patočka's works allow us to ask questions about the goal of education. Is it to become an intellectual or a spiritual person? The possibility of such a distinction is embedded in the ethics of care of the self, an ancient tradition, which even nowadays, among others, thanks to P. Sloterdijk or Foucault himself, has become an important category. An ethical attitude towards the self opens the way to spirituality through a set of appropriate practices. It becomes the basis for relations with others and with the world.

W artykule został podjęty dylemat związany z celem wychowania. Koncepcja troski o siebie M. Foucaulta oraz prace J. Patočki pozwalają na postawienie pytania dotyczącego celu wychowania. Czy owym celem ma być intelektualista czy człowiek duchowy? Możliwość takiego rozróżnienia osadzona jest w etyce troski o siebie, starożytnej tradycji, która obecnie, min. za sprawą P. Sloterdijka, czy samego M. Foucaulta pojawia się jako kategoria istotna również współcześnie. Etyczna postawa wobec siebie otwiera drogę do duchowości poprzez zespół odpowiednich praktyk. Staje się ona podstawą relacji z innymi i ze światem.
