Abstract

With the Modern Era emerges a new notion of human nature that places the individual at the center, as an independent and autonomous being in their actions, confronted with structures that oppress them. This helped give rise to the social sciences, which analyzed various aspects of this structure. However, from the independent and autonomous individual, there has been a transition to an almost social automaton. With classical theories no longer able to account for the increasing diversity of variables to explain social action, theories have emerged that place the individual at the center; no longer as an atom of society, or as programmed hymenoptera, but as the point of intersection where the structure most clearly manifests itself. Among these theories, Bernard Lahire’s theory of dispositions and Danilo Martuccelli’s theory of individuations stand out. This article aims to present and discuss these theories, seeking differences and, primarily, convergences, opening the possibility of thinking about the individual between trials and dispositions.
