The introduction of the Stanford-Binet intelligence scales in Paraguay by José E. García

“…Although the first strategies to evaluate the human intellectual skills find millennial precedents in the ancient China, the attempts of measurement in the modern period began with the English psychologist Francis Galton in the decade of 1880, applying physiological measurements to estimate the human talent. At the beginning of the XXth century, the French psychologists Alfred Binet and Théodore Simon constructed the first metric scales to calculate children’s intelligence. …”

Foucault, el liberalismo y la crítica de la filosofía política by Mario Domínguez Sánchez

“…Evitando las abstracciones dicotomizadas, de la filosofía política moderna y contemporánea, Michel Foucault no ha tratado de reconstruir una totalidad trascendental, racional y normativa, ni de legitimar racionalmente los valores, sino de estudiar las prácticas de sí en una sociedad dada y las transformaciones que generan. Poner el acento sobre las prácticas autoformadoras del individuo nos dibuja toda una visión dinámica del sujeto y de la libertad que componen una cara inversa de «los cuerpos dóciles», o del sujeto producido por el entramado poder/saber. …”
