Subjectivity is not a quality separate from the body, as we modern people tend to think, but a quality inscribed in the living organisation itself. Moreover, it is not merely intra-dividual, but at the same time relational and social. This interpretation of subjectivity, inspired in particular by the work of Edgar Morin, is convergent with the philosophical reflections on the subject developed by Iofrida in his discussion of the experimental evidence of systemically oriented infant research, and can help to understand the current challenges of survival of our species, whose evolution is entrusted for the first time in its history to a form of coexistence without a single organizing epicentre: the society-world.
