The essay first deepens the meaning of the Cartesian Cogito, starting from its performative reading,
with the aim of verifying the plausibility of the interpretation provided by Rocco Ronchi’s
Canone minore, in order to conduct a radical desubjectivization of the experience. Secondly, the
essay raises the question whether this operation, which must lead to an absolute immanentism,
should also mean abandoning the central category of identity, so decisive for the whole western
philosophical tradition. A very brief mention is reserved to the figure that would emerge in the
margins of this extreme exercise of thought.
