Parrhesia, a way of speaking truthfully, was the last great problem Michel Foucault took on in his later years. He found within it a relationship to the truth that was distinct from the dominant mode in our culture, a different articulation among subject, knowledge, and power–the concepts that make up the core of his work. Foucault develops the concept of parrhesia in public space, in the right of citizens to speak frankly to power, and in the private sphere, in caring for the self. The exercise of the truth is a means to achieve freedom. La parresia (hablar caracterizado por la veracidad), fue el ultimo gran problema abordado por su autor a lo largo de sus anos finales. Foucault encontraba en la parresia una relacion con la verdad distinta a la que habia dominado nuestra cultura, que el juzgaba criticamente; una articulacion diferente entre tres conceptos que conforman el nucleo de su obra: sujeto (subjetividad), saber (verdad, veridiccion) y poder (gobierno). Foucault desarrolla el concepto de parresia en dos sentidos. Uno tiene lugar en el espacio publico, se refiere al derecho del ciudadano libre a hablar francamente al soberano o poderoso y el otro se practica en la esfera privada, se refiere al cuidado del si. El ejercicio de la verdad es vehiculo para lograr la propia libertad.
