Abstract
The concept of person is often defined from the perspective of how the humanities understand it. Interestingly, no science has succeeded in a complete definition of the person, precisely because of the complexity of the soul with which God endows man. Thus, if the sciences without reference to God transform the person into an individual, from a theological perspective the two terms have a completely different meaning. This results from the correct relationship of man to God, a relationship that has the effect of knowing the happiness of man, happiness to which he tends through creation.
Highlights
Man, a dichotomic being, made up of material body and spiritual soul, represents the crown of creation made by God out of love
Between the Personal God of Orthodox theology and man in his capacity as a person created in the image of God, an incomprehensible communion to the sciences is achieved through uncreated divine grace
If the individual is the egocentric man who realizes inter-human relations that satisfy his own interest, the person about whom theology speaks is characterized by unconditional love for fellow human beings, love that is perfected in the love of God
Summary
A dichotomic being, made up of material body and spiritual soul, represents the crown of creation made by God out of love. Between the Personal God of Orthodox theology and man in his capacity as a person created in the image of God, an incomprehensible communion to the sciences is achieved through uncreated divine grace.
