Foucault y la voluntad de verdad. Elementos para un análisis del binomio saber-poder en la Dogmática jurídico-penal

Abstract

Based on Michel Foucault’s thought, a French philosopher, this article examines the relationship between knowledge and power with all its implications in the field of crime theory. For this, the paper reviews the historical evolution of the discipline, identifying some key moments that lead to questioning its supposed axiological neutrality and the utility of this kind of research. According to genealogy, it is proposed to affirm the need to construct a criminal dogmatic following the founding principles and values of the liberal, social and democratic state model of law.
