This paper is aimed at problematizing the relations between philosophy teaching and citizenship in the contemporary societies. It takes Lipovetsky's concept of ''hypermodern times'', based on the hyperbolization of the three axes of modernity: the market; the individual and technical efficiency. The prevailing political form is the ''societies of control'', to use a Deleuzian concept, which works with the biopolitical logics, unveiled by Foucault. The author draws on Rancière's thoughts to show that, in these societies, we live under the social administration of the police, rather than in the field of politics, as in a disupting event. We then ask: what is citizenship? Is it the affirmation of this society of control or a resistance to it, with subjects finding their way out? In order to think about philosophy teaching as practice of autonomous and creative thinking, this paper takes the second option, proposing the teaching of philosophy as generatings lines of flith (ways out), creating weapons for resistance and creation.
