On the Prehistory of the Discovery of the Subject in Christian Metaphysics. This article provides a very short history of modern subjectivity and its theological implications. In the late Middle Ages metaphysics are refounded (nominalism) and this leads to the decline of the medieval notion of «ordo». Modern «subjectivity» is born. It is argued here that the autonomy of the subject has a genuin christian history, despite the fact that the modern notion of «subject» and «subjectivity» still tend to sound an alarm in the realm of catholic theology today.
