Reflection on the possible reform of the Italian Civil Code requires an analysis of the evolution of the relationship between subject and object of law in the legal systems of the Western area. From this perspective, we note the thrusts toward a recognition of legal subjectivity to nature, animals, but especially to devices endowed with AI. At the same time, on another side, strong tendencies toward objectification/reification of human beings (and animals) emerge, from their origin to the different stages of their development. Anthropocentrism implodes, heading toward a transhumanist drift that only an inclusive humanistic vision of every living being could stem.
