The Nearing Demise of Modern Subject/Man
Abstract
The Scope of this article is to show that the modern Subject, which is being considered to be an active agent, in reality is reaching its demise. Furthermore, this article will explicate the nature of the modern subjectivity/man, particularly its ability to construct knowledge, as its exegesis being done by modern thinkers and in due course of showing that this subjectivity/ man is near its demise. This article will try to explicate a critique of modern subjectivity/man through the spectacles of Michel Foucault.In this article the focus will remain on Kant for the exegesis of modern subjectivity/man as he is the most profound propagator of modern subject. In the second stage it will focus on Foucault's Archaeological analysis since he has developed an argument that the demise of modern subject is near and inevitable.References
