Abstract

Contemporary man lives a contradictory feeling: on the one hand, he has the sensation of having found a space to experience himself; on the other hand, the experience of the subject is nothing more than a “sensation”. Virtual reality and the digital world have forged a happy and alienated subject. This subject is an icon of separation, not only nominal but also experiential, of a semantically empty subject, without reference. The search for the contemporary subject is the last stage of the insufficiency of the modern subject, of a rational and individual ego or of a neuronal identity that has forgotten its last reference: the person as the only constitutive reality of the human being, already pointed out in the Middle Ages by thinkers such as Bonaventure or Duns Scotus.
