In my article I analyze a few dimensions of subjectivity in the philosophy of Jacques Derrida. On the one hand, the question of proper name shows that subjectivity cannot be taken as completely identical with itself. According to Derrida, it was a good reason to disclose the metaphysical presuppositions of classical anthropology, in particular its claims concerning substantial subjectivity. It is a negative part of his approach. But on the other hand, Derrida tried to create a new philosophy of subjectivity which treats subject in the necessary ontological and ethical connection with other subject. Due to his positive contribution, his approach deserves the name of relational philosophy of subjectivity.
In this study I take a closer look at the relationship between human identity and the term of narration. Firstly, I want to analyze the psychological paradigm of narration and its implication to human identity. Next, I try to show Heidegger’s concept of the Dasein as an inspiration to discussion of the philosophical paradigm of narration. Finally, this study concerns the relation between human identity and narration in Charles Taylor’s moral philosophy.

The article presents the question of community in Jean-Luc Nancy’s work La communauté désœuvrée (1983). Nancy’s writings on community are one of the most well known part of his work. That is why firstly that essay shows how Nancy redefined community and moved away from this word toward explicitly ontological terms such as being-in-common, being-together and being-with. Then we take up Nancy’s discussions of the relation between myth and community: between the interruption of myth, the unworked community (la communauté désœuvrée), and “literary com- munism.” And, eventually, at the end we take a closer look at the relation between Nancy’s understanding of community and history in general to show what Nancy means by finitude.

Artykuł dotyczy zagadnienia wspólnoty w filozofii Jean-Luc Nancy’ego, będąc przede wszystkim analizą tej kategorii wyłożonej w dziele Rozdzielona wspólnota (La communauté désœuvrée). Główny wątek książki to próba ugruntowania kategorii wspólnoty na płaszczyźnie ontologicznej (jako bycie-wspólnie, bycie-razem, bycie-z). Sam ten pomysł decyduje niewątpliwie o nowatorstwie myśli Nancy’ego. By jednak go zrealizować, słusznie autor starał się oddzielić to pojęcie do historycznych, socjologicznych i politycznych kontekstów, by dopiero na tak przygotowanym „polu” teoretycznym zająć się wspólnotą jako taką. W kolejnej części artykułu rozważania skupione są na pojęciu mitu. Mit jest artykulacją wspólnoty jako zamkniętej immanencji. Nadaje jej fundament i identyfikację. Dlatego dyskurs wspólnoty, zdaniem Nancy’ego, powinien stać się praktyką przerywania mitu i tworzenia relacyjnych kategorii opisu rozdzielonej wspólnoty. Na koniec zaś staramy się odnieść kategorię wspólnoty do zagadnienia skończoności i historii, tak jak je ujmował Nancy.
This article is an attempt to take a closer look at the political paradigm of Jean-Luc Nancy’s thought. First it refers to withdrawing from the total domination of the political that is exemplified by the sentence: “everything is political”. More precisely, the French phrase used by Nancy and his colleague Ph. Lacoue-Labarthe, retrait du politique means withdrawing from the “political as such”. Through this it becomes possible to re-define or re-thinking the political by incessantly call in question of its essence. It requires a political gesture through and through and it is the only way of putting into question the total domination of determination of the political in terms of foundation, sovereign, principle, authority etc. Secondly the text refers to the two schematic models of Nancy’s understanding of politics: that of subject and of citizen and his constant circulation. In this way for Nancy the politics is always in progress, is non-self-sufficiency. Thus the politics underlines the own ethical dimension because it means the struggle for a new world, the struggle for the global injustice. That’s why the politics means to create the world every time and it is our ethical demand.
