GOMEZ VELAUSTEGUI, Juan Roberto. Reflections on the Concept of “Person”: Analysis, Critique, and Reconsideration. Acad. (Asunción) [online]. 2025, vol.12, n.1, e1141.  Epub 08-Jan-2025. ISSN 2414-8938.  https://doi.org/10.30545/academo.2025.n1.1141.

The concept of “person” is associated with normative characteristics and functions, implying the recognition of rights and obligations, but it is also linked to psychological, biological, and social factual aspects. This theoretical research work, through the techniques of bibliographic review and comparative analysis of content from philosophical literature and other fields of knowledge, aims to reflect on the concept of person. Firstly, some sociocultural and historical issues are considered. It is then linked with other categories. Later, some of the main philosophical ideas of the Western tradition on the concept of person are presented. Some traditional criteria are analyzed and criticized. The concept of person is redefined by integrating biopsychosocial and normative factual elements, and then some relevant theoretical and practical implications are reflected upon.
