Summary/Abstract: The aim of this text is to challenge the tendency, discernible in legal discourse, to limit the vision of man as a legal subject to the construction of a natural person. As a category of private law, the subjectivity of the natural person cannot reflect the complexity of the relationships in which a man functions in the domain regulated by law or take into account the features that characterise him with regard to law. Hence the author attempts to construct another, more universal, model of human legal personality, which can be reliably applied to the whole of the law.
