Subjectivité et libéralisme, l’individu en crise Une lecture de Houellebecq au prisme de la pensée libérale

Liberalism is built on the notion of the individual. The novel, testimony of the birth of the modern subject, thus suffers a crisis with its decline. Hostile to anthropomorphism, Hayek develops a theory of economic autoregulation at the advanced stage of capitalism. Houllebecq acknowledges this mutation through the serialisation of consumer behaviour and the biological serialisation of his characters. Only Rorty’s thought will give the voice back to the creative and logothete subject.
