The concept of 'being a person⟫ in Baltasar Gracian as an expression of human perfection

In Gracian << to be a person >> involves the << ingenious >> modulation between the natural << genius >> of the man and the world in which he lives. Gracian understands subjectivity from her necessary and constitutive reference to the world, where man constitutes himself as a person. Gracian shows that through the correct articulation between genius and ingenious. In this paper we will analyze the notions of genius, ingenious and person, showing that the last one notion is the result of the correct articulation between genius and ingenious. In addition, we will show that the concept of << to be a person >> involved a conception of subjectivity away from the purity and absoluteness of the modern subject.
