La categoria filosofica della "sujetividad" in Arturo Andrés Roig

Abstract: Arturo Andrés Roig (1922-2012) introduces in the text Teoría y crítica del pensamiento latinoamericano (Theory and criticism of Latin American thought) of 1981 the neologism sujetividad in opposition to the term subjetividad (subjectivity); at the same time, starting from the rereading of Kant and Hegel, he defines the category of anthropological a priori as an element necessary for the construction of the Latin American philosophical identity. Articulating these two categories, the Argentine philosopher elaborates his personal critical theory for the construction of objectivity starting from subjectivity, aiming to give a new meaning to words such as experience, temporality, and historicity within a redefined normativity of philosophical practice. Through an in-depth analysis of the historiographical-philosophical passages within Roig’s work, this essay analyses the main problematic elements concerning the reflection on the term sujetividad.
