Abstract

For Michel Foucault, the human sciences are a recently event in the history of occidental thought. Before, he said, the man had no existence. His possibility appeared only in the century XIX, The production of the philosopher, in fact, shows more than one face of this history. In Les mots et les choses, the man, as an object of the knowledge, only emerges in the end of the Age of Representation, but not separately. It treats about an object sui generis, fond of his existence represent a reduplication from ther knowledges: the empiric sciences, criticism philosoph and the mathematics. Beyond his manner of being, it is inopportune representation. In other texts likes Historie de la folie, Naissance de la clinique and, later, Surveiller et punir, the knowledges strangely called human sciences are found in a narrow way related with the sciences of life and the origin of modem disciplined institutions, invested strongly by the normalizator power.

Key words: Thougth, modernity, episteme, human sciences, history.
