Abstract:
This article attempts to demonstrate that the notion of the subject, contrary to what common sense would suggest, is not a category that radiates from the moral sphere to other spheres, such as the law, politics or philosophy. This notion is a central category of capitalist law because it is indispensable to the functioning of the capitalist economy. The principle objective of the article is to examine the way in which the category of subject acts within the juridical sphere and relates to the economic system, as well as to examine its conversion to a widely held notion in other spheres of social life.

Keywords: Capitalist law. Individualization. Social transformation. Subject.
