碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 哲學學系 === 89 === This thesis is derived from a worn question: what is Je/I?According to this question, this thesis mainly tries to illustrate the following points: 1 Subjectivity is formed by Other. 2 Desire is the core of the subjectivity. Due to the first proposition, Descartes’s Cogito is questioned. Due to the second proposition, Lacan’s subjectivity is founded. Therefore, this thesis tries to explain the significant status of the rational subjectivity constructed by Descartes leading the western civilization by historical discourse at first, and then gradually shows the important reasons of why the irrational subjectivity discoursed by Lacan was constructed. There are four chapters in this thesis. Chapter One, Introduction: proposing the issue that subjectivity is formed by Other. Chapter Two, The fundamental meaning of mirror stage: Explaining the rational subjectivity constructed in traditional philosophy and why Lacan based the subjectivity upon the mirror stage. Chapter Three, The formation of the imaginary ego: Given the desire, trying to explain the difference between Cogito and subjectivity, and point out the fallacy of constructing the rational subjectivity from imaginary ego furthermore. Chapter Four, The formation of the symbolic subjectivity: Trying to propose the subjectivity in terms of psychoanalysis, which is different from the approach of traditional philosophy, then completing the construction of Lacan’s subjectivity.
