description | Whereas early liberal thinkers developed the concept of the ethically accountable continuous forensic modern European person in contrast to what they saw as the discontinuous and hence unaccountable mimetic person, I argue that forensic and mimetic are better understood both as ideologies of personhood and as dimensions of all persons rather than as fully distinctive kinds of persons. I present an account of persons as accountable for their acts but show that this is not limited to the maximally continuous and autonomous person of liberal ideology. I review other forms of personhood encountered cross-culturally and suggest that the mimetic dimension offsets some of the problems inherent in an exclusively forensic model. Les premiers penseurs libéraux ont développé le concept d'une personne légale européenne moderne qui serait continue et éthiquement responsable, par opposition à la personne mimétique qu'ils percevaient comme discontinue donc irresponsable. L'auteur avance que le légal et le mimétique sont à envisager à la fois comme des idéologies de la personne et comme des dimensions de toute personne plutôt que comme des types distincts de personne. Il avance que la personne responsable de ses actes ne se limite pas à la personne intégralement continue et autonome de l'idéologie libérale. Il passe en revue d'autres conceptions de la personne dans différentes cultures et suggère que la dimension mimétique permet de compenser certaines déficiences du modèle exclusivement légal. |
