  • The two tools of the archaeologist of the subject: subjectivity and attributivism*
  • Heidegger. Subiectität is what characterizes and defines theὑποκείμενον or subiectum as such: sub-stantiality
  • The "subjectivity"(Subjektivität) of modern metaphysics is a "mode of subjectivity"(Subjectität): the application of the physical model of substantial portance/permanence to the psychic
  • Attribute-theory is a theory of the inherence of the mind in the body, as a disposition or dispositional property
  • Attributivism* refers to any doctrine of the soul and thought based on an explicit assimilation of psychic states or acts to attributes or predicates of a subject defined as ego
  • The "birth of the subject" is marked and structurally defined by the encounter of subjectivity with attribute-theory and "attributivism*"
  • Contrary to Heidegger, the archaeology of the subject shows that Descartes was not the first to give subiectum and ego, subjectivity and egoism(Ichheit) an identical meaning
  • Augustine formulates and originally rejects attributivism*: the soul is not the subject of mental acts/states
  • The perichoretic model of the psyche: Augustine and Jean de Damas
  • Mutual immanence and the Stoic theory of mixture
  • Parasite and fusion of attributivist* and perichoretic models in the Middle Ages
  • The Olivian attributivist* model, the Kantian critique of rational psychology and the Nietzschean critique of Descartes' logico-metaphysical postulates: an attempt at synthesis
  • Thomas Aquinas and the epistemic principle of "knowledge of the soul through its acts"
  • The subject according to Thomas
  • Olivi versus Thomas: a medieval paradigm
  • The three modes of knowledge according to Matthew of Acquasparta
