In this presentation we will try to show the problematic knot hidden behind the concept of «person». Firstly, supposing that it is not only a naive term but, and specially, that it is a «dispositive» which has its origins in archaic Roman law and that it still has consequences in our contemporary reality. Secondly, we will try to prove the movement of the person?s dispositive towards a new idea of «subjectivity» in the light of a drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci. In this way, the first part is based on Roman law and the second one in Battaglia degli Anghiari by Leonardo. Both extra philosophical speeches have as a base Roberto Esposito?s philosophical thought, from which I have taken and carried out the ideas.
