LOS PADRES CAPADOCIOS Y EL CONCEPTO DE PERSONA
CAPPADOCIAN FATHERS AND THE CONCEPT OF PERSON

Summary/Abstract: The thought of the Cappadocian fathers is linked to the Trinitarian nature of God. They strive for formulating a definition of divine person. The extent of the Cappadocian notion of person covers two other important ideas which refer to being someone: an ability to be in a fraternal relation with others, and a disposition to enter such a relation voluntarily. The Christian idea of divine person also implicates a concept of infinite dignity. The authoress shows that at the grassroots of the Western concept of person, associated with human inalienable rights, there are ceratin metaphysical intuitions.
