Abstract
What is a human person? The paper presents some main responses contemporary analytic philosophers have given to this question. In particular, the following theories are examined: a human person is an immaterial soul, an organism belonging to the species Home Sapiens, an entity constituted by – and yet distinct from – a human organism, a bundle of mental states, a specific four-dimensional worm. These theories are briefly outlined, along with the arguments offered in their favour and the objections they have to meet.
