LELL, Helga. Contestability of the legal concept of person and analogical hermeneutics. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2019, n.13, pp.215-233.  Epub May 19, 2020. ISSN 2448-7937.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487937e.2019.13.13721.

The legal concept of person is commonly associated with rights and obligations, additionally, it is related to a metaphor: an antique mask that allowed to portray roles in ancient theaters, even though the symbolic essence of this concept has produced several changes in its history.

This article aims to analyze how analogic hermeneutics might be useful in order to expose the semantics of “person” and discuss the important link between contestability and analogy.
