The Person in Personalism

The notion of person has numerous historical precedents, but the Cappadocian Fathers play a leading role because they were the first to give it an original philosophical meaning. Twentieth-century personalism took up this notion, but completed and perfected it through concepts borrowed from modernity and Christianity. The result of this process is a new conception of the person that has been described by Burgos through his person diagram. Based on this diagram, the article schematically presents the essential traits of the person according to personalism and, in particular, integral personalism.
