Abstract

The article analyses critically three different models about human being: the homo faber, or tecnocratic humanism, dominant along Modernity from Descartes and Bacon to Marx; the homo natura and the homo ludens, which represent antihumanist models of the late Modernity. In front of these models we can find a fourth one: the homo patiens or eccentric humanism, opened to God, others and nature. Only this model gives a consistent foundation to the universality of the rights because it identifies the concepts of human being and person.
