Sažetak
This article discusses the essence of early modern scientific standards as
applied to defining the human person. The first part presents the basic concepts of
early modern scientific standards, by placing these in a historical framework and
linking them to persons and to philosophical and scientific phenomena. In order to
describe complex phenomena in terms of simple constituents, modern science adopted
a certain methodological reductionism.
The second part compares the classical (Boethius) and modern (Descartes
and Locke) definition of the person and shows the impossibility of inserting the
classical definition of the human person in the early modern scientific context. In the
final part of the paper our intention is to create a conceptual framework that goes
beyond epistemological reductionism and that aims to bypass the connections between
the real, living world and physical and mathematical systems. If the impossibility of
inserting the human being into a scientific context was a fruit of modern methodology,
after we have emphasized the limits of that methodology what are the implications
for the definition of the human person? We outline a proposal for a new theoretical
framework for defining the human person.
