ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that the Ideational or Sensate culture mentality determines the dominant theories or ideologies, even in such a specific field as the problem of the reality of so-called juridical personality. Upon this or that solution of this problem have depended often the life, property, and liberty of thousands of persons. This means that the problem has not only a theoretical but also a paramount, practical importance. In the period of the domination of the Ideational mentality, the theories or beliefs in the true reality of the juridical personality tend to dominate. To be considered "true" or "scientific," while in the period of domination of the Sensate and nominalistic-singularistic mentalities the nominalistic theories are likely to be believed to be "true" and "scientific." These theories can easily be classed in three main groups: Realistic, Nominalistic, and Mixed, with several subdivisions within each of the groups.
