Il soggetto nascosto e l'illusione dell'illusione.

A part of philosophy attentive to research in the field of neurosciences tends to eliminate the subject dissolving it in an illusion or an artificial convention. These are issues that accord well with some strings of post-modernity which see the consistency of the subject collapse in favor of a fragmented and nomadic identitary reality. The text briefly addresses three fundamental ethical and anthropological questions connected to these theses: the inescapability of the subject, postulated by the same assumptions of its illusoriness; the need for a clarification of the difference between the psychological and ontological subject, in order to avoid confusing the levels of investigation and the question of the identity of the subject with the connected but distinct question of the mind-body relationship; the repercussion in the ethical and political sphere of the loss of the subject to the subsequent creation of imputability without responsibility. Lastly, it shows how the question of the dissolution of the subject is often the result of a unilateral emphatisation of the body that is resolved paradoxically by the denial of its role in personal identity.
