Abstract: The word parrhêsia appears for the first time in Greek literature and it is ordinarily translated by "free speech". For Michel Foucault, the term is central to its concerns over the last years of life, especially in courses at the Collège de France in 1983 and 1984, giving the concept of parrhêsia a different connotation, namely, truth telling. Thus, parrhêsia appears as a rich, ambiguous, difficult and plural concept; it's both a liability and a technique. She did not reveal an argumentative way of demonstration, or a heuristic one, but an agonistic structure. He also points to the relationship between democracy and truth in the form of the relationship between philosophy and politics. Philosophy is to tell the truth, but not the truth of the political game, but to tell the truth in relation to the political game. So, there is no identity between that "telling the truth" philosophical and political rationality.
