Abstract
Jean Cavaillès’s “philosophy of concept”, built on the domain of mathematics, is often accused of eliminating the role of the subject from the construction of scientific knowledge. In their defense, authors like Canguilhem and Badiou evoked the action in the French Resistance as an argument for the coherent implication between subject and knowledge that this philosophy evokes. We propose that this implication between subject, resistance and mathematical thinking is not arbitrary, but is a necessary consequence of the Cavaillès´s philosophy.
