Abstract
This text continues the debate started with the article by Juan Manuel Burgos, The self as the ontological root of the person. Reflections on John F. Crosby, “Who” 6 (2017), pp. 33-54, to which John Crosby responded with the text On solitude, subjectivity and substantiality. Response to Juan Manuel Burgos, “Who” 8 (2018), pp. 7-18. In it, he responds to Crosby’s reflections by pointing out: 1) Crosby’s insistence on the relevance of intersubjectivity can be assumed as long as it is accepted that the self is situated at a more decisive foundational level of the person; 2) I accept, following Crosby, that the expression incommunicability can be used to refer to the person, although perhaps the use of this expression weakens his theses on intersubjectivity; 3) I continue to consider the use of the notion of substance to refer to the person to be inadequate and I believe that its functions should be replaced by a self understood in an ontological or foundational way.
