Description

Becoming a Subject: Reflections in Philosophy and Psychoanalysis by Marcia Cavell This book explores the concept of human subjectivity, examining what it means to be an individual with agency, self-awareness, and responsibility. Cavell draws on philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the sciences of the mind to investigate the conditions under which a person becomes a subject. The investigation delves into central issues in moral philosophy, such as freedom of the will and the relations between reason and passion. It also touches on metaphysics and epistemology, considering whether subjectivity is incompatible with objectivity. The book's practical applications are rooted in psychoanalysis, aiming to maximize autonomy and self-knowledge. Cavell's work seeks to integrate philosophical inquiry with empirical investigation, highlighting the interconnectedness of these fields in understanding human experience.
