Abstract

This paper aims to show the connection of the classical notions of 'justice' and 'dominion' with 'human freedom' and 'person'. This connection is needed in order to understand the relationship human being with the world as a relationship of dominion and to have a better understanding of freedom as a special characteristic of personal reality. For Leonardo Polo's transcendental anthropology, human being is a being 'who has' in different levels (bodily-practical having; having according to logos or immanent knowing having ; intrinsic having as habits and virtues). But every kind of dominion over that which is real is found in the dominion exerted over one's own actions. And, as a social being by nature, the social plexus is the condition by which any possible appropriation is possible. In conclusion, the character of being addi- tionally (además) that defines a person is revealed (as well as his co-existential nature with the world and with others) in the way that human beings interact with the world, which they both need and humanize.
