The Rebirth of the Subject. Arendt and Badiou on the Human Being as Source of Change

Wolfhart Totschnig
291

Resumen

En la segunda mitad del siglo XX, la noción tradicional del sujeto humano como fuente de pensamiento y acción fue criticada por Foucault, Althusser y otros. Foucault llamó a esta crítica “la muerte del sujeto”. En este trabajo busco mostrar que podemos encontrar, ocurriendo al mismo tiempo, el desarrollo de una concepción del ser humano como fuente de pensamiento y acción que resiste esta “muerte”, a saber, la teoría de la acción de Arendt y la noción de sujeto de Badiou. Lo que une a estos dos pensadores es que conciben el sujeto como plural (es decir, compuesto por varios individuos) y como constituido por un principio (es decir, unificado por una idea rectora).

Palabras clave:
sujeto, muerte del sujeto, Arendt, Badiou
