This book explores the complex and evolving concept of the 'subject' in contemporary thought. It examines how this central philosophical category has been constructed and deconstructed across various domains such as politics, aesthetics, linguistics, and epistemology. The work delves into the contributions of key thinkers like Foucault, Luhmann, Deleuze, Derrida, and others, highlighting the diverse interpretations and implications of the subject. The authors aim to critically analyze these interpretations to understand the underlying anxieties and philosophical inquiries that drive the persistent quest to define 'subject.' This scholarly work is intended for an academic audience interested in philosophy, ontology, and political theory. |
