Considerações sobre a condição do sujeito na antropologia filosófica de Lima Vaz

Abstract

The research inquires about the being or the truth of the finite subject in the human process of transition between the given form – man as a somatic, psychic and spiritual complex – and the form itself – man as a person. In this path, the person, individua substantia, is, simultaneously, already and not yet, since, as the main category of the Self, it fully guides the affirmation of subjectivity, and, as the teleology of the human being, it awaits its realization (in) by the subjects, who build themselves in the existence for themselves and the others. The Absolute, to which the spiritual dimension of the subjects refers, is, in its turn, what supports man's being in the world and with the other, since life, intelligence, reason and self-consciousness flow from it. In this path, the person and the Absolute are endowed with the so-called “original positivity”.
