ABSTRACT
Chapter 7 is a crucial text for the current debate on the human, because I point out how Butler and Žižek, the great thinkers of the human of these times, are two unilateral faces of Hegel; and for this very reason they are faces that cannot give a full account of what happens to each of us, because their unilaterality prevents them from giving a more complete answer. It is not that the human, as Butler thinks, in the light of the Phenomenology of Spirit, is an expression of history, but neither is it that the human is a structuring, as Žižek thinks, that from the Science of Logic can make us understand our present, as for example, the queer. Rather, we are differential structures, that is, dynamic, sexed, finite and historical structures that articulate with each other and with the Other par excellence, that is, our own material void of meaning that constitutes our own body, but always in radical distance from the Other in order to be able to be, necessarily, with the Other.
