O indivíduo moderno e suas segmentações como pessoa e sujeito

vetores da saída da religião na teoria de Marcel Gauchet

Abstract

This text seeks to analyse the configuration of the modern individual and their key characteristics as an autonomous agent, much as their segmentations as either person and subject, within the framework of the theory of departure from religion or the disenchantment of the world, developed by the French philosopher Marcel Gauchet. At first, we present some aspects that propelled the emergence of the modern individual and the main traits defining them. Subsequently, we explore the key notions which encompass the concept of person and its correlations with the outcomes arising from the actions of the individual. Finally, we examine the position of the modern subject as a result of interconnected developments and social affirmations tied to the ways and procedures of the individual and of the person, besides their implications being vectors of the historical process of departure from religion.
