The first part of this article is an analysis of the historical and philosophical evolution of the concept of human person, from antiquity to present times, including an outline of its major developments. The second part deals critically with reductionist and empiricist positions -particularly Engelhardt's and of utilitarianism- exposing some of its practical implications in the realm of Bioethics. Finally the author concludes with an enunciation of what would constitute a conceptual basis for the ontological foundation of Personal Bioethics derived from the initial framework of intuitive ideas first outlined by Sgreccia in the eighties.
本文的第一部分是对人格概念从古代到现代的历史和哲学演变的分析,包括其主要发展的概述。第二部分批判性地探讨了还原论和经验主义立场——特别是恩格尔哈特的立场和功利主义——揭示了其在生物伦理学领域的一些实际影响。最后,作者从斯格雷恰在八十年代首次概述的直观观念的初始框架出发,阐述了构成个人生物伦理学本体论基础的概念基础。
