In Subjectivity of 'Différance' Heecheon Jeon carefully explores the question of living well
together in the midst of myriad differences and otherness in our living world. Living well
together is not a concept void of naïve togetherness of various subjectivities but rather the
disclosure of the repressive subjectivity to welcome «strangers to ourselves» by sacrificing
the very subjectivity. To this end Jeon not only delves into the deconstruction of
subjectivity but also searches for poietic possibilities of subjectivity without the subject
for living well together in Jacques Derrida Martin Heidegger Emmanuel Levinas and Alain
Badiou: ethical responsibility political enunciation cultural supplementarity and
theological imagination. Beyond the deconstructive critique of metaphysical subjectivity the
possibility of subjectivity without the subject must be investigated in terms of multifaceted
aspects of our living together: subjectum Deus and communitas. Jeon insists that
deconstruction radically commands us to say salut! to the Other at the brink of a democracy to
come.
