Abstract

The use of the word "ethical" has become commonplace in many different fields, from common life to academic knowledge. In consumption practices, although a very large number of scholars have dedicated to define the so-called ethical consumption, a philosophical reflection on the subject it’s almost absent. In the light of Michel Foucault's discourse theory, the following article analyzes the discursive rules that might structure a critique on the ethical sustainability statement, starting point for a broader discussion question: how is it possible to be free if the discursive formation of consumption in its statement of sustainability never puts into question the very historical means of consumption?
