THE CERTAINTY OF ITSELF AND THIS IMPOSSIBLE SUBJECT

In order to think reality, we search before the kantian subjective turn: Descartes. Though this may seem strange (Descartes, the father of subjectivity!), we do it because he indeed tries to think reality as such, even though he turns his sight towards subjectivity. After he has found the subjective certainty, a methodic movement, he takes up again the metaphysical questions. Nevertheless, this way keeps frustrated because of the way in which Descartes conceives the self, so we indicate the Meditations to attend the birth of this concept and glimpse other resonances, that push toward the nonsubjective reality, without losing the concept we already gained. By doing this, we point to the self as an ungrounded ecstatic activity.
