Maturana

As you can see, live in the language, besides giving us the possibility of autoobservarnos and reach the reflex knowledge, generates an increase in the sense of differentiation of each other and the world that we experience as an objective and produces an extension and complexity of subjectivity. Therefore, just as we ordered the external world, we must also sort that subjective inner world in such a way that us a sense of stability and continuity and make us viable experience of being one differentiated among each other. As Maturana indicated: the distinction of the self is an overwhelming experience () once it occurs, that distinction becomes the point of reference for all subsequent distinctions. An ontological approach to the explanation of the human person. If we want to develop descriptions and appropriate explanations of the personal human system we are forced, given their specific characteristics, conscience and subjectivity, to always adopt an ontological point of view (Guidano, 1987, 1990, 1991). Peculiar and unique from the observation of a personal phenomenon is that while we see it happen always, and at the same time, two experiences: 1) our observers that we are of the phenomenon, and 2) experience that happens the person observed.

In other words, a person is not just something that happens before us as observers to try to give an explanation of something, that a person is, first, an experience for someone. The narrative organization of personal experience. Examine the notion of person from an ontological perspective implies observing the experience itself personhood as the case that has that experience, as w. James (1890), I would say to the I and you concrete and particular. This perspective understand with Guidano (1991, 1993) that in every moment of your life each person has immediate experience of being herself (a self that experiences) and, simultaneously, an explanation of that experience (a my which orders and explains the experience), which gives you a sense of herself in Biographical terms processed at the level of narrative thinking.
