First published in 1979 but never available in English until now,
Ego Sum challenges, through a careful and unprecedented reading of
Descartes's writings, the picture of Descartes as the father of
modern philosophy: the thinker who founded the edifice of knowledge
on the absolute self-certainty of a Subject fully transparent to
itself. While other theoretical discourses, such as psychoanalysis,
have also attempted to subvert this Subject, Nancy shows how they
always inadvertently reconstituted the Subject they were trying to
leave behind. Nancy's wager is that, at the moment of modern
subjectivity's founding, a foundation that always already included
all the possibilities of its own exhaustion, another thought of
"the subject" is possible. By paying attention to the mode of
presentation of Descartes's subject, to the masks, portraits,
feints, and fables that populate his writings, Jean-Luc Nancy shows
how Descartes's ego is not the Subject of metaphysics but a mouth
that spaces itself out and distinguishes itself.
