520 _aThis article intends to present, explain and place the Kantian concept of moral personality. It starts by developing the descriptive features that, according to Kant, mark out a person. These features are teleological, axiological, aesthetic, and judicial: an individual is a being that is an end in itself, endowed with dignity, forcing respect, and having rights. The article then looks backward, searching for what ontologically grounds these features of an individual, in order to release a real definition of him/her: an individual is a being that is free. Eventually, the Kantian concept can be placed within the (metaphysical) history of definitions of an individual: rationality is not a sufficient condition of personality.
