The second hour was devoted to a number of reminders of the notion of the "chiasm of agency", those of subject-agent and subject-patient, and to the distinction between two questions (which is the subject who suffers? Who is the subject who suffers?) determining the possibility of asking the question "who" is the subject of "my" suffering? To say: "the subject of passion" is to pose the problem of the relationship between mind and body, which again forces us to distinguish between the Mind/Body Problem (MBP), the relationship between body and mind, and the Mind/Soul Problem (MSP), the distinction between soul and spirit. On the basis of Paul Ricœur's analysis of the difference between the question "Who?" and the question "What?", we have identified a structure common to the notions of "subject of thought" and "subject of suffering": the articulation between etiology and topology, making it possible to problematically distinguish between the subject of suffering (the mind?) and the place of suffering (the body?).
