Foucault. The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the existential orientation of a person to clarify the political conditions of his existence, understanding how the space of co-existence is formed and how burning social issues are solved in it. To solve this problem, the authors analyze the modern public order through an appeal to the concept of biopolitics of M. Foucault. In modern humanities, biopolitics is a topically discussed approach to organizing people's lives and a set of socio-political practices, which, according to Foucault, is becoming the dominant form of population management. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the disclosure of the communicative nature of biopolitics, in the analysis of the anthropological manifestations of biopolitics at the level of transformation of the subject, the process of medicalization of life and changes of time, work and leisure. The scientific problem is not only the study of the biopolitical aspects of Foucault's work, but also the consideration of real practices of their application in modern history.</p>биополитикавластьбиовластьтелотруддосугbiopoliticspowerbiopowerbodylaborleisure
