Le complément de sujet: Enquête sur le fait d'agir de soi-même

by Vincent Descombes

Il n'est pas certain que la philosophie puisse dire aujourd'hui ce qu'elle entend par sujet, écrit V. Descombes, après avoir examiné les positions de Husserl, Heidegger et Sartre, Habermas, Gadamer et Ricoeur. Sauf à revenir à la conception élémentaire, syntaxique, de complément du verbe, de sujet d'un agir soi-même.

About the author

Vincent Descombes is a French philosopher. His major work has been in the philosophy of language and philosophy of mind. He is particularly noted for a lengthy critique in two volumes of the project he calls cognitivism, and which is, roughly, the view current in philosophy of mind that mental and psychological facts can ultimately be treated as, or reduced to, physical facts about the brain.

Descombes has also written an introduction to modern French philosophy (Le même et l'autre) focused on the transition, after 1960, from a focus on the three H's, Hegel, Husserl and Heidegger to the "three masters of suspicion", Marx, Nietzsche and Freud.

Vincent Descombes teaches at the Centre de recherches politiques Raymond Aron, part of the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. He holds an appointment in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. Vincent Descombes was also a member of the French Marxist group Socialisme ou Barbarie.
