La persona humana y su perspectiva antropológica

Abstract

Cada persona es una radical novedad, no la podemos reducir a una cosa, a ninguna otra realidad dada. En cada persona existe una realidad única que solo es de ella. Asimismo, no podemos hablar de la persona solo como biológica ya que, fundamentalmente, la persona es biográfica. Ese alguien corporal o persona no solamente acontece, sino que está unido a la futuración, a esa tensión hacia adelante que es la vida. A la persona le pertenece un elemento de irrealidad que le es constitutivo precisamente para poseer un grado de realidad incomparablemente superior al de toda cosa. En su antropología, desde la estructura empírica, Julián Marías desgrana todas sus categorías antropológicas, destacando que la manera real primaria de estar es a través de su cuerpo, que descubre desde la sensibilidad.

Each person is a radical novelty, and cannot be brought down to a thing, to any other given reality. In each person there is a unique reality which is only theirs. Neither can we talk of the person only as a biological being since the person is fundamentally biographical.This bodily being or person does not only happen, but is bonded to futuration, to that forward-moving tension which is life. An element of unreality is involved in the person, which is a constituent part of their existence precisely in order to have a degree of reality incomparably superior to that of any thing. In his anthropology, Julián Marías picks out all his anthropological categories from the standpoint of empirical structure, stressing that the real primary manner of being is through my body, which I discover through sensitivity.
