Playing with the truth

This article proposes a reading of Foucault's thinking based on the "games of truth" category enunciated at the end of his theoretical trajectory. The attempt is made to establish similarities and differences between this category and that of language games, as stated by Wittgenstein in Philosophical Investigations. Foucault took this approach to conduct his critique of metaphysical tradition.
