Résumé anglais François Dosse, The Captive Subject : Between Existentialism and Structuralism In the second half of the twentieth century the subject was caught between existentialism, a philosophy which has had the tendency to sanctify it, and structuralism, which involves a will to dissolve it. Jean-Paul Sartre and Claude Lévi-Strauss, the two great thinkers of the period, represent these two opposing approachs to the study of humankind. What is at stake in this battle of ideas is the place of philosophy and its relations with the new human sciences. Lévi-Strauss, champion of a project encompassing all the social sciences, won the battle, up until the subject and history called everything into question in May 1968. Exploring the history of this debate implies the desire to escape the confines of a false dilemma.
