The present text is a branch of a research previously titled: “Philosophies of the transindividual: Spinoza, Marx, Freud.” This document includes the elements of a course taught in 2004 and 2005 at the Universities of Paris X Nanterre (seminar Anthropology and Politics, in collaboration with Bertrand Ogilvie) and the University of California, Irvine (Emphasis on Critical Theory), as well as subsequent communications at the EHESS and the University of Paris VII. The relevance of this text lies in the meaning and possible uses in philosophy, politics and social sciences of the category of the ‘transindividual’.
