Abstract:
This collective volume focuses on two closely connected issues whose common
denominator is the embattled notion of the subject.
The first concerns the controversies on the nature of the subject and
related notions, such as the concepts of 'I' and 'self'. From both
theoretical and historical viewpoints, several of the contributors show how
different and incompatible perspectives on the subject can help us
understand today's world, its habits, style, power relations, and
attitudes. For this purpose, use is made of insights in a broad range of
disciplines, such as sociology, psychoanalysis, pragmatics, intellectual
history, and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach helps to clarify
the multifaceted character of the subject and the role it plays nowadays as
well as over the centuries.
The second issue concerns the subject in inter-personal as well as in
intra-personal controversies. The enquiry here focuses on the ways in which
different aspects of the subject and subjective differences affect the
conduct, content, and rationality of controversies with others as well as
within oneself on a variety of topics. Among such aspects, the contributors
analyse the subject's emotions, cognitive states, argumentative practices,
and individual and collective identity. The interaction between the two
issues, the controversies on the subject and the subject of controversies,
sheds new light on the debate on modernity and its alleged crisis.
