Summary/Abstract: The present article approaches the significant presence of the preposition on/regarding, in three contexts with particular meaning. The first one is dedicated to the relation on human nature – on Michel Foucault, deepening the dialogue Noam Chomsky/Michel Foucault, On Human Nature, which allows to see the profile coordinates, the positioning and the particular problematization that Foucault cultivates, all these becoming an additional argument for re-positioning the debate as…on Michel Foucault. The second one is interested in the construction made with the prepositional structure regarding Foucault, in the sense in which through the debate On Human Nature, on and regarding converge towards the same pole of interest. The third one uses the translation of the Chomsky-Foucault debate, published at The New Press, New York, 2006, to highlight the position (with current accents) of Michel Foucault on Human Rights (“Confronting Governments: Human Rights”, in Libération, June 1984).
