Description
Summary:The notion of person often designates today « the spiritual subject as autonomous and distinct because of consciousness and freedom ». In such a view one could even identify person and consciousness. This poses serious problems for theologians who attempt to give expression to the mystery of the Trinity. That is why some would be ready to abandon terminology which they judge to be seriously compromised. But there is no need to take this stance, as Barth and a certain number of Catholic authors have done. Upon reflection one discovers that the current notion of 'person' is not necessarily irreconcilable with that of classical theology. Both notions, elaborated from different starting points, do not represent « limited » concepts which allow no new development, but rather concepts open to further enrichment.
