This paper aims to discuss certain circumstances of the “constitution of the self” or individualization through diverse forms of experience. The creation of the self as individuum is depicted as having authorship over his actions in three distinctive yet interconnected instances of early stages of the Western Civilization: in Homeric society, in the Greek Polis and in a philosophical suggestion for a fully individualized citizenship. The law is set in this discussion as an external entity that forms the outer limit of human experience. Furthermore, fixed identities of the past and fluid identities of the modernity are analyzed not as pure social forms but as schemata of societal existence that imply the intermingling of opposite traits.
Este artículo pretende debatir algunas circunstancias de la “constitución del ego” o individualización a través de diversas formas de experiencia. La creación del ego como individuum se representa la posesión de autoridad sobre sus acciones, en tres instancias de los albores de la civilización occidental, diferentes pero interconectadas: la sociedad homérica, las polis griegas y una sugerencia filosófica de una ciudadanía plenamente individualizada. El derecho se establece en esta discusión como una entidad externa que forma los límites periféricos de la experiencia humana. Además, se analizan las identidades establecidas en el pasado y las identidades flexibles de la modernidad no como meras formas sociales, sino como patrones de la existencia social que implica la mezcla de rasgos opuestos.
