SOCIAL EXISTENCE AS A CONDITION FOR THE CREATION AND REPRODUCTION OF A SUBJECT

Abstract

When we state the existence of a reality that affects a person’s existence and demonstrates his inability to influence this reality in a positive way, we find a lack of subjectivity. In our instance, however, we are not discussing the concept of «death of the subject,» but rather the recognition of the loss of subjectivity and the search for means to reproduce it. Thus, by recalling the concept of «actor,» the concept of «man as Sovereign» is substantiated. In contrast to the juristic interpretation found in international law, I propose to enter a definition of sovereignty as an entity without which existence is impossible. In particular, the Indo-European essence of human existence represents the sovereignty of the individual, while others represent the family, group, tribe, ethnic group, state, supreme hierarch, and so on. Substantially, sovereignty implies knowledge of the properties of other (real knowledge of existence).
This study allowed us to substantiate that the ability to form responsible agreements reveals a person who has the will and can be defined by the term «sovereign». In turn, agreements are mostly made with those who cannot be ignored. Therefore, a complementary connection with objective circumstances is realized, in which culture, knowledge, science and intellect are components of increasing sovereignty. Because sovereignty manifests itself in society in the form of will, it is a necessary component of the sovereign’s integrity, which manifests itself in an act of trust or distrust.
