Перформативната логика на филсофския дискурс на Декарт в контекста на теоретичния спор между Фуко и Дерида
Performative logic of Descarte's philosophical discourse in the context of the theoretical dispute between Foucault and Derrida

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to explore the problem how a discursive regime – the Descartes’s one – functions performatively and invents modern subjectivity. This initial question leads to Foucault’s – Derrida’s indirect dispute and its stake – the status of madness as a social construction and the methodological strategy, which Descartes realises on the base of this madness construction. The article meets these two contradictory interpretations of Cartesian First Meditation and considers and uses the Mediation as empirical data. This approach aims: to solve the Foucault’s – Derrida’s dilemma and to explore the way of modern subjectivity construction in the frame of one performative discursive practice. The article ascertains that this discursive regime, through which the modern subjectivity was born and invented, and following essential disruption with all deviations functions as normalizing discursive ecstatic “machine”. Descartes’s discourse reveals the modern subject identity as mediated in the space of the interaction with itself and in this way defi nes a privileged viewpoint. From this point of view the social form of identity “I think therefore I am” starts to emanate symbolic effi ciency as a determinate form of ideology. The article follows some of these types of identity that gradually start to crystallize after a deeper analysis of performativity of the Cartesian discourse. In that way the article proposes a possible way of its reading and a solution of Foucault’s – Derrida’s dilemma, raised from Descartes’s methodological exclusion of the madness but, on the other hand, this dilemma represents two very strong critical references about modernity and essential problematisation of otherness.
