ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to apprehend the relationship that is established between the subjective and objective perspectives inherent in a democratic political relationship. Antonio Gramsci’s political thought seems to show a certain mistrust of both precise institutional formulas and mechanisms for ensuring the balance of power. Gramsci’s conception of umana personality tends to impose an abandonment of the individualistic image. He challenges philosophy that studies man without reference to the world and philosophies that deal with the world without reference to man. The political orientations that are linked to sexualities seem particularly paradigmatic of the ideology. The question of the subject in the field of politics and law is thus an illustration not of what the subject itself would be, but of the rationality inherent in the way in which language functions in its relation to the mind and the world.
