What comes after the subject: adonado and individual in Marion and Nancy

Abstract

The article examines the conception of "what comes after the subject" in the philosophies of Jean-Luc Marion and Jean-Luc Nancy, focusing on how each addresses the status of the body and subjectivity. Marion introduces the concept of adonado, emphasizing the receptivity and donation of the phenomenon, while Nancy proposes a notion of “individual” centered on exposure and interaction. Through a comparative analysis, it shows how both philosophers redefine the subject in the context of contemporary phenomenology, with Marion surpassing the assumptions on which Nancy continues.
