Abstract
The aim of this article is a detailed analysis of the critique concerning the concept
of subjectivity in Giorgio Agamben’s philosophy made by the Polish philosopher
Agata Bielik-Robson arguing for her own conceptualization of subject’s ethical
formation. The main thesis states that by situating Agamben in the conceptual
horizon he aims to overcome, her critique stopped halfway. In doing so, the article
shows that the common ground of both Agamben’s and Bielik-Robson’s views on
the subject is the philosophy of Hegel and the differences between them can be
explicated as the difference in choosing one of two strategies of subject’s formation
deriving from Hegel: while Bielik-Robson radicalizes the moment of negativity,
Agamben tries to elaborate a different (messianic) logic of Aufhebung.
