    Area of Science:

    • Philosophy of mind
    • Bioethics
    • Conceptual analysis

    Background:

    • The terms 'human' and 'person' are often used interchangeably, but carry distinct philosophical weight.
    • Understanding the difference is crucial for ethical considerations and defining rights.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the conceptual relationship between 'human' and 'person'.
    • To explore the functional role and value connotations assigned to 'person'.
    • To examine definitions and relational aspects of personhood.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of philosophical definitions.
    • Examination of intrinsic features (rationality, self-consciousness).
    • Analysis of relational concepts (role, status).

    Main Results:

    • Distinguishes 'human' (biological) from 'person' (value-laden concept).
    • Identifies intrinsic and relational definitions of personhood.
    • 'Potential' emerges as a key link between human and person.

    Conclusions:

    • The concept of 'person' is distinct from 'human' and carries significant ethical and social value.
    • Potentiality offers a framework for understanding the transition or connection between human and person status.
