Substance and Relation: Idea in the history of Philosophy

The exploration of being in this work examines the historical emphasis on substance over relation in the conception of the human person. It traces the shift from medieval to modern thought, highlighting the growing recognition of relation as a fundamental mode of being. The author argues for a balanced understanding of substance and relation as equally primordial, proposing a new framework for the human person as "relational-substance." The research delves into the philosophical history of both concepts, aiming to unify them in contemporary discourse.
