Résumé anglais Solange Barberousse, The Question of the Subject in Light of Political Interrogations For the humanists of the Enlightenment human liberty in society was possible by and for autonomous men in relation to forms of power that were cultural rather than or divine. The equation autonomy-liberty constitutes a tendency towards a subject relative to political rights. However, the French Revolution brought forth liberalism, the individual producer of norms and the object of rights. Today, in the Third World, the demand for democracy, human rights and individualization is linked to these three concerns. It is not an history of the philosophy of the subject that makes this demand conceivable ; it rather emerges out of political and social questions and from individuals confronted with the State. The question of the subject, as it is posed in the West today, contains the risk of creating a hierarchy oh humanity. What is necessary is to reposit the "uniduality" of human kind.
