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. |
