This book sets out to scrutinize the nature of the subject – and its related notions, such as the self and the first person – from an unusual point of view: controversy. All of the chapters here assembled, specially written for this book, focus on controversies having to do in some crucial way with the notions of subject and subjectivity. In some of them these notions are the very theme of controversy. In others, they intervene significantly in a controversy. And others explore the question of whether and how subjects can hold ‘inner’ controversies, i.e., controversies not with others, but with themselves.
