DISAPPEARANCE AND INCOMPLETE EXISTENCE IN THE LABYRINTHS OF SUBJECTIVITY

The book "Disappearance and Incomplete Existence. In the Labyrinths of Romantic and Contemporary Subjectivity" is an attempt to look at modern subjectivity as an event of constant change, incomplete and unfinished. The authors of the articles undertake a reflection on the manifestations of the presence of the "self", which are marked by incoherence and elusiveness.

• Reflection on subjectivity: Analysis of modern subjectivity as a process of constant change.
• Incoherence and elusiveness: Examination of the manifestations of the presence of the "self" marked by specific elusiveness.
• Three main lines of consideration: Expositions of the subjectivity of late Romanticism, high modernism, and postmodernism.
• Romanticism as "arche": Establishing Romanticism, especially the crisis of the Romantic "self", as the foundation of the modern subject.
• Shift in the value of the goal: In postmodernity, the goal loses importance in favor of the means of striving.
• Openness of the question about the subject: The book points to the need for constant revision of previous considerations and adequate descriptions.
