The subject is defined by control of the object world. It is because of projects (that is, subjective interventions) that the world is manipulated and improved. But one cannot be one's creation, for creations which one controls are by definition objects, and therefore no part of the subject. How then are they connected to the person who created them? (..) For an answer, we need to destabilise the division between the mental and the material, and between persons and things, which are the twin foundations of possessive individualism.
