POLITICAL SUBJECTIVITY; IMPLOSION OF THE IMAGINARY IN TO THE POLITICS

Abstract

The Enlightenment paradigm, with its obsessive reliance on reason and the consequent
modernistic extreme push towards rationality, has bought many totalitarian expositions on the
political stage. Those ideas namely, are exponentially failing in regard to presuppositions that
people/ subjects/ persons are rational and reasonable beings. With that “enlightened” spirit
imagination was treated as something that is or out of reality; as a non-reasonable and nonrational activity. Accordingly, analyzing politics, it was reduced to its manifestations strictly
deriving from the legalo-normativistic symbolic order [e.g. the State or the Procedural Republic],
and without taking any account on other factors of organizing human reality.
