An Approach to the subject concept

Abstract

I postulate a subject (Descartes-Lacan)  insofar  as:  condescending  to  language;  assumes  the  lack-of-being  concomitant  (against  the  temptation  of  dissolving  itself  into  the  Other,  of piercing  its  indigence);  reduces  some  of  its  drive;  manages  with  its  symptom;  takes  a  stand  and  answers  at  the  implications  of  its  acts.  Working  with  each  subject’s  symptom  —not  with  the  knowledge—,  the  psychoanalytic  clinic  makes  this  subject  emerge.  In this  respect,  it’s  needed  an  act  without  guarantee,  which  disconnects  from the Other, from the learned, and grants a place in exchange.In contrast, according to Simondon, the subject  follows  the  vital  individuation,  it  has  its  own  problematic,  and  represents  itself  as  an  element and dimension of the world. However,  this  process  is  the  subjectivity  itself:  the  psychism  is  the  language  in  our  head;  the  problematic appears  as  we  are  speakers;  it  is  own because  of  the  language’s  self-referential  condition; the representation lucubrates from the  formalized  language,  and  the  subject  represents itself as a dimension of the world because it acknowledges itself as alive, thanks to the  language.  Therefore,  the  transindividual  does not resolve the subject’s problematic collectively, since it is linguistic, it does not concern to a new area of the subjetc’s production. A  preindividual  reality  does  not  associate  us  with  the  group;  instead,  a  chain  of  singular  decisions creates the group.
