Popis: As Michel Foucault argues, the speeches of modern and contemporary philosophy tend to be divided between two important currents criticism: the first develops an “analytical of the truth”, while the other performs an “ontology of the present”. The latter explores the current field of the contemporary and possible experiences, in simpler terms, it asks for the “we”, or how we have become what we are today. Thus, the following article will hold that the questions about our present lead to moments of emergency of neoliberalism. In the first place, because there is defined an adverse experience on the modes of life of modern capi-talist societies; secondly, because the same experiences point to the need to reform the salaried workers; and finally, because the reforms in question foment the adoption of others ways of life and economic existence. That is why the ontology proposal is also a criticism against neoliberalism; or rather, against the way in which neoliberalism constitutes us as subjects
