Person\u2010centred care corrected the reduction of patients to bodies and pathologies, yet its interpretation and application remain somewhat inconsistent. This article locates the inconsistency in an unresolved philosophical question: which self is the person on whom care is centred. Under pressure, a person tends to default to an inherited self rather than explore their own philosophy of life, so that an expressed preference may record the default self rather than the thinking person.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims and Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To diagnose the root of the inconsistency and to articulate metapersonal care as a necessary criterion distinguishing philosophical from naive person\u2010centred care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Conceptual and philosophical analysis, in dialogue with the person\u2010centred care and capabilities literatures, relational conceptions of autonomy, and psychological accounts of decentring, drawing on Spinoza, Murdoch, and Foucault for the theory of self\u2010relation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      What care records when it asks what the patient wants is often not the person but the epochal default self: the inherited configuration that presents itself as authentic precisely because it is immediate. Hence the paradox: the more immediately personal an expression, the more generic it may be.
