Identidad individual y personalidad jurídica

Abstract

According to some Foucault' proposals, this paper deals with the historical constitution of individual identity forms through juridic practices, concretely the results of the transformation of modern law from the state monopolization of the legislative functions, a process considered to be based on social contract theories -the constitution of social order according to a successive scheme: from the pre-social individuals to supra-individual society. The juridical individualism derives from this model, and the critical approach on it is made from the contemporary sciences of human behavior.
