Governance rationality is one of the concepts that has created various problems and challenges for the modern man. Using the basic methodology, this library and descriptive-analytical research has analyzed the fundamentals of the identity of governance rationality in Michel Foucault's thought through a critical approach and from the perspective of the fundamentals of transcendental Theosophy. Through this critical approach, the reality of transcendental governance rationality has been identified and determined. The research shows that the identity of Foucault's governance rationality follows a negative approach and he describes the rationality of his governance by emphasizing on negatives. The identity of Foucault's governance rationality is liberation from a single form of governance. His governance rationality addresses the modern man and his wisdom and solutions for controlling power. The identity of Foucault's governance rationality with his ontological denials has the following characteristics: separating the world of divine essences and the material world, denying the essence of things, decentralization, negation of goal-centeredness, negation of general and universal rules, pluralism and acceptance of discontinuity, negation of origin and acceptance of coincidence. In epistemological foundations, power is considered as the center of knowledge. However, this governance rationality is rejected based on the critique of the ontological foundations of transcendental theosophy with its characteristics such as reality-orientedness, fundamental reality of existence, gradation of existence, the principle of causality, the ultimate cause, and the compatibility of worlds. In epistemological foundations, it has the characteristic of truth-orientedness of knowledge. Thus, the identity of Foucault's rationality governance is rejected.
