The questions the writer Samuel Beckett posed in his dramas, his prose and his poetry are the central questions asked by the most outstanding thinkers of modernity.

Samuel Beckett, therefore, is the central figure in this book, but he is not alone.

This study is not only a precise literary analysis, but it also traces transformations in terms of subjectivity and tries to conceptualize them.
