Summary/Abstract: In this article we will consider, in a speculative manner, a specific form of subjectivity that arises from a fundamental condition that trust imposes on the existence of the subject. Departing from the hypothesis that trust tends towards a formation of subjectivity that could exist independently, as a totality and separateness from world, we will try to shed that illusion, showing thus the constitutively fragmentary nature of the subject of trust, as well as its limits and tears from which it is made. While examining this particular ontogenesis, we will also question the psychological and epistemological condition which trust imposes on the subject in its becoming. Freudian psychoanalysis and Sartre’s ontological phenomenology will provide us with our main notional tools which will be reconsidered while serving our own analyses. Through their critical superposition, we will tend to obtain an optimal tool for a deconstruction of the subject of trust, while also deconstructing some traditionally opposed categories, such as the unconscious and the conscious, subject and object, existence and becoming, belief and knowledge, etc.
