La individualización humana y sus bases en la individualización animal
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article proposes that the main foundation of human individualization lies in the relational functions of the human organism, which have evolved through psychobiological processes and have their background in the animal kingdom. It suggests that individuals, both human and certain proto-animal forms, are capable of shaping their behavior and acquiring a unique individuality through these relational functions, manifested in specific psychic and functional traits. This perspective is based on the German sociologist Norbert Elias and Niklas Luhmann, enriched and complemented by insights from philosophers and naturalists such as Thomas Reid, Antonio Caso, John R. Searle, Edward O. Wilson, and Carl Safina, all of it in an exercise of heterogeneous sociological thought.
