O knihe

The structural-phenomenological analysis of the history of the formation of subjectivity aims at explicating the unified structure of the subject, whose systematic diachronization represents the process of the unfolding of subjectivity over time in the history of the West. In this respect the focus is made on three stages of European metaphysics: Antiquity, Middle Ages, and Modern Age. Each of these stages bears the stamp of one of the components of subjectivity's structure. The cosmocentric Antiquity actualizes the Real structure of subjectivity. The order of this actualization includes the closedness of space and the cyclical nature of time, and the corporeal and aesthetic materiality of pagan cults. In the theocentric Middle Ages subjectivity is actualized in ideal transcendental spirituality, in the testimony of the existence of an otherworldly Deity, in the symbolism of the universe, in the vertical hierarchy of society, in the linearity of Christian historical time. In New Age anthropocentrism, subjectivity reaches its self-consciousness, and, above all, in the immanent ideality of the mathematical symbol, in the idea of the zero center of the coordinate system of worldview, filled with the principle of cogito.
