Tres aportes al concepto de persona: Boecio (substancia), Ricardo de San Víctor (existencia) y Escoto (incomunicabilidad) / Three Settlements in the Concept of Person: Boethius (substance), Richard of St. Victor (Existence) and Scotus (Incommunicability)

Abstract

The philosophical concept of person has a prominent role both in understanding the human being as most important in modern debates about ethics, politics and law. In this article we’ll discuss some aspects of the idea of person, following the path in search of their genealogy, especially in the most important area of developing this concept, the Christian debate on Trinitarian theology. Our challenge will be to support the efforts of some intellectuals in seeking to resolve the dialectical tension between what is proper to the individual and what is common to all. We’ll dedicate in this case to the work of Boethius, Richard of St. Victor and Scotus on this matter.
