This article analyzes the notion of saturated phenomenon in Marion’s thought, but, above all, and related to this phenomenon, the type of subject that concerns to the saturating affectation. The discussion focuses on the overcoming of the figure of the transcendental Self, and of Modernity in general, to give rise to a diminished subject, to a diminutio ipseitatis, due fundamentally to an initiative that, Marion explaina, does not come so much from the affected subject, but of the phenomenon that affects it. Dislodged from his formidable center, the kenotized subject undertakes a quite peculiar kind of recreation, which consists of the set of responses that he will offer to the density of the aforementioned phenomenon. The subject is received from what he receives. In successive hermeneutic that takes up affectation, he will have to take charge of the blow of what is given, that is, of what affects him, but not exactly in the way that objects affect a knowing subject. To Nancy’s question “what comes after the subject?”, we must answer without any hesitation: the subject, however now diminished in its world-creating capacity through transcendental synthesis: l’adonné, the gifted.
