Aphesis: The Impossibility of Subjectivity

By Treydon Lunot

In his first major work of philosophy, Treydon Lunot tackles the problem of subjectivity, closely examining the various paradoxical features, necessities, and contradictions that lie at the heart of self-consciousness. In opposition to modern and postmodern attempts to do away with the subject through the embrace of impersonal chaos and multiplicity, Lunot follows in the steps of German Idealism and its modern successors (such as Slavoj Zizek and Dieter Henrich) by asserting its centrality as the 'self-relating negative' that is radically closed off from the world. Touching on topics such as time-consciousness, the death of God, Nietzscheanism, and Christianity, Lunot journeys through various thinkers and ideas with the expressed goal of shedding light on the nature of subjectivity. After discovering that the subject is internally inconsistent, closed off from itself and the world, and that 'no one gets to heaven, ' Lunot finally poses the question: is it possible to attain salvation?
