This paper considers that concepts as identity, subjectivity and constitution of subject need an ontological discussion as a condition to their truly understanding. Beginning with a dialectical point of view of the understanding of man and his/ her social relationships, it is possible to indicate that "identity" can be understood as constitution of subject, of its meaning points to an open and unfinished state of affairs. On this view, subjectivity appears as a dimension of the subject, as the objectivity which, based on the experienced relations, make itself as constructing affective and reflexive experiences, producing particular and collective meanings.

Keywords : Conscience; Constitution of subject; Subjectivity; Identity; Affectivity.
