Description
From cogito to subject: Cartesian subject. The reinterpretation from the Perspective of Vattimo. The following article presents the “discovery” of Descartes: the subject and subjectivity. The French thinker comes to the conclusion that we can doubt anything except our existence. So the famous cogito ergo sum became the foundation to the new subject which in modern epoch experienced spectacular development. (We cannot forget that to Descartes the doubt means cogito, that is - thinking). According to Vattimo, among the features of the new subject we find the desire for freedom and self-realization, the critics towards the past and towards metaphysics. This subject was called by Italian philosopher the subject of middle-class Christian who wants to separate from the past, wants to break all the chains, but also keeps something from the past as if the work is not yet finished.
