This paper is nothing more than a digression in the process of ethical signifying, an infinite movement, which precedes diachronically every attempt to give an account of it and interrupts the sense which the author believes he is putting in words. Then the investigations presented here can be interpreted as different modalities of the Un- saying (Dédire in French… Read more

The main objective of the paper is to show the phenomenologically determined subjectivity in the frame of interiority through tracing the Cartesian path of the two most influential “Cartesian” phenomenologists E.
