The view of a presuppositionless science has in recent years become increasingly under attack. Although the presence of presuppositions in industrial/organizational psychology and the need to study them have been acknowledged, no major attempt has been made to study these presuppositions in any systematic and comprehensive way. This article proposes that the study of such presuppositions falls within the ambit of an area called "subject philosophy." The article attempts to provide answers to two questions with reference to industrial/organizational psychology, "What is the nature of Subject Philosophy?" and "What is the task of Subject Philosophy?"

"This multidisciplinary volume explores the relationship between human rights and the subject. Each chapter considers how human rights norms and practices affect the way we relate to ourselves, to other people, and to the non-human world, drawing on the best work on human rights in political theory, cultural studies, history, law, anthropology, literary studies, and philosophy"--

Immanuel Kant is strict about the limits of self-knowledge: our inner sense gives us only appearances, never the reality, of ourselves. Kant may seem to begin his inquiries with an uncritical conception of cognitive limits, but in Kant and the Subject of Critique, Avery Goldman argues that, even for Kant, a reflective act must take place before any judgment occurs. Building on Kant's metaphysics, which uses the soul, the world, and God as regulative principles, Goldman demonstrates how Kant can open doors to reflection, analysis, language, sensibility, and understanding. By establishing a regulative self, Goldman offers a way to bring unity to the subject through Kant's seemingly circular reasoning, allowing for critique and, ultimately, knowledge.
