This philosophical study explores the concept of the "pluri person"—the multiplicity and fragmentation of selfhood—through the lens of irony as both rhetorical strategy and existential condition. The book argues that ironic consciousness reveals the inherently plural nature of human identity, challenging unified models of subjectivity that dominate Western philosophical traditions. The book investigates how irony functions as more than a literary device, serving as a fundamental mode of being that acknowledges contradiction, multiplicity, and performativity at the core of personal identity.
