THE NECESSITY IN THE CONCEPT OF THE SUBJECT AND PROOF OF THE NEED FOR IT - CASE OF THE SUBJECT AS AN ADDITION OF AGENT
The article shows the need for the concept of the subject. Two different attempts to construct a "philosophy without a subject" are described: 1) when without-subject constructions are used; 2) when intensional constructions are used. Using the proof from the opposite, Descombes comes to the result that the subject is needed as an addition of agent, since it is basic in human language practice. The conclusion is made that a person really needs the concept of a subject, but not because it is basic in the language or because people consider themselves as subjects (the subject an addition of agent), as V. Descombes believes, but because a person is a subject in practice.
