Abstract

This essay is an explanation on the relationship between the biopolitics and christianism en Michel Foucault ´s thought. The importance of this essay is in its emphasis on the genealogy of the Christian shepherding as the historical condition of the subjetivation process on the biopower era. In this light, the essay remarks how the gubernamentality named by Foucault´s works is a hybrid made by the double binded political rationality of Western. This political double racionality came from a state-political paradigm that characterizes the Greek and roman world, and the economical and management paradigm that came from the sheperding Christian line.
