Summary/Abstract: This paper is both an expanded review and an article insisting on some problems of the philosophical methods and the treatment of the human subjectivity. Thus, it starts from the book of Tibor Szabó, Le sujet et sa morale: Essais de philosophie morale et politique, Szeged, Centre Universitaire Francophone, 2016, and, first, highlights how the description of the human subject in the world may stay within the frame of the metaphysical suppositions or may divert from it. This position towards a metaphysical approach is that which differentiates the contents of the normative messages of philosophies. Secondly, the paper points out the adventures of the modern continental philosophy to both avoid the interdependence of the objective and subjective factors of the human subject and society and their unitary complex, and to reveal this interdependence and its concrete aspects.
