Abstract

This paper discusses the theoretical and methodological systematization proposed by Michel Foucault to study morality. In order to extract lessons and subsidies for sociological research on moralities, especially to ground the notion of moral subjectivation, it is argued that late Foucauldian studies provide a praxeological perspective capable of connecting morality, agency, and power.
