Abstract
The research’s aim is examining going the distance of the educational system from the aim of authority and self-creation upon Foucault’s view. We applied conceptucal analysis and deductive method for attaining to the goals. Regarding attained findings the most important distinction between the original self and the false self is in flexibility and transformation. While, the original self is always an incomplete project. The false self is dead and rigid. There is also an original self that has an active relationship with power networks. In addition, the kind of discursive consciousness of original self can take someone beyond the knowledge-cultural boundaries of his time. The requirements for achieving this original self in educational activities include issues of creativity and persistent critique, attention to individual emotions, discursive awareness, and truthfulness. Also, authorities in the field of education should increase their resistance against external evaluations and normative systems to prevent the transformation of their original self into false self.
