Résumé : While Leibniz often presented an analogy between the substance and the ego, thedetermination of substantiality through the ego is neither an analogy, nor a transferof substantiality, nor an “egological deduction”, but a hypotyposis, grounded in thesubject’s first-person experience, which is always the experience of an accompanyingbody. Without this reflexive experience, the very concept of substance, whether identifiedwith subjectivity or perseity, would be meaningless. Through it, the experienceof a substantiated body and of infinite substantiates is always at stake. In short: theegological way to the substance is always at the same time that of the substantiated.
