Podmiot między negatywnością i Aufhebung/désoeuvrement. Odparcie kryptoteologicznej krytyki Agambena
Subject Between Negativity and Aufhebung/désoeuvrement. Refutation of the Cryptotheological Critique of Agamben

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is a detailed analysis of the critique concerning the concept of subjectivity in Giorgio Agamben’s philosophy made by the Polish philosopher Agata Bielik-Robson arguing for her own conceptualization of subject’s ethical formation. The main thesis states that by situating Agamben in the conceptual horizon he aims to overcome, her critique stopped halfway. In doing so, the article shows that the common ground of both Agamben’s and Bielik-Robson’s views on the subject is the philosophy of Hegel and the differences between them can be explicated as the difference in choosing one of two strategies of subject’s formation deriving from Hegel: while Bielik-Robson radicalizes the moment of negativity, Agamben tries to elaborate a different (messianic) logic of Aufhebung.
