Poinsot took the step of identifying relation as the only positive mode of being which retains its essential character as suprasubjective both when circumstances render it existing in the awareness-independent dimension of being (ens reale) and when circumstances reduce the relation to an awareness-dependent status (ens rationis). Poinsot further demonstrated that this singularity of relation being is what makes the action of signs possible in the world of nature. Cardinal Ratzinger in our own time pointed out that the being of person, as a matter of personal identity, depends upon this being of relation. The human person is not simply a \u201csupposit of a rational nature\u201d but much further an identity developed in time through relationships. Ratzinger\u2019s work combines with the semiotic understanding of Poinsot to point us toward a postmodern understanding which at once re-trieves (in Heidegger\u2019s sense) the medieval understanding of the \u201ctype of substance\u201d required for human personhood and at the same time shows how the identity of persons is more than that, requiring the suprasubjective or public dimension which relation adds within the psyche as an actual \u201cpersonal identity\u201d develops over time<\/p>\n<h4>Key words:<\/h4>\n<p>adesse vs. inesse, ens rationis, fundament, Ockham, postmodernity, \u2018problema pontis\u2019, Ratzinger, relation, singularity, spiritualized animal, suprasubjective.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Full text&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;off&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/revistaespiritu.istomas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Dialnet-TowardAPostmodernRecoveryOfPerson-4102375.pdf&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.92&#8243; \/][et_pb_text background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[yuzo_related]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_sidebar orientation=&#8221;right&#8221; area=&#8221;sidebar-1&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; remove_border=&#8221;off&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; show_border=&#8221;on&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aristotle and Aquinas considered relation to have a reality in the world of being independent of awareness.
