Scrittura e crisi del soggetto. A partire da José Gaos

This contribution highlights, in José Gaos, a significant thinker of our time, the importance of the connection between the phenomenology of verbal expression, the starting point of his philosophy, and the question of subjectivity, or rather the theme of Being in its “being-in-the-world”, in its affective dispositions and in its logical-cognitive determinations. Hence the particular interest in the “kinetic” constitution of psychic activity and in the role of emotions and motions, understood as «feelings» and «psychic movements», ranging from impulses to volitions or «acts of will».
