Abstract: Personhood is one of the key problems not only in philosophy and
the sciences, but also in different fields of the social life in all countries
of the world. The solution of this problem is the starting-point for various
further problems concerning personhood’s metaphysical, physical, moral and
legal aspects, e.g. discussions in biomedical ethics about abortion, stem-cell
research, euthanasia or debates in philosophy and law about human rights,
citizenship, equality, liberty, legal person, corporate personhood, etc.
On the one hand, it is necessary to give
universal criteria of personhood to distinguish between human beings and
animals, between persons and potential persons, between diverse degrees of
personhood. On the other hand, it is also important to consider special
criteria of personhood that apply within and between different cultures, what
might be called intercultural criteria of personhood. This paper offers
some reflections on intercultural personhood, its criteria, and possible
problems and solutions, particularly in the contemporary context of
globalization.
Keywords: Intercultural Personhood; biomedical ethics; cultural solipsism; intercultural
communication; intercultural conflicts.
