Summary/Abstract: Who is the subject of the contemporary civilization? Is it a being most generously endowed by nature, autonomous and sovereign, possessing qualities characteristic solely of nature, the qualities which make it superior to other beings? Or is it still a problem to be solved? Is it a being realising itself autonomously? Is it a being negotiating or fighting with identities imposed on it by the culture in which it functions? What makes it possible to know this subject? Is it its presence in the world itself or is it its life? Is this subject “a lord of the existence” or is it “a shepherd of the existence”? These are the questions which still engage the imagination, mind of not only philosophers but also educators, psychologists and sociologists. These questions rise from various traditions: humanistic and post humanistic, from the expanses “furnished” with various figures. And it is these traditions that constitute the topic of narration: Expression as one of the ways of subject’s being in the world. Inspirations from Heidegger (and others).
