ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is to do an analysis of the philosophical and political relationship between Michel Foucault and the called “new philosophers” (Bernard-Henri Lévy and André Glucksmann) in the year 1977. It inquires in the kind of confluence that existed: if it was only a political-tactical support or it implied a bigger philosophical coincidence. It evaluates the reception of certain foucauldian concepts (revolution, discipline, pleb) that the new philosophers do, as well as the Foucault’s reading of Glucksmann’s texts. In this sense, we consider the hypothesis of a liberal use by the new philosophers of Foucault’s work.
Keywords: Discipline, Left, Liberal-Libertarian, Pleb, Revolution.
