Let $X$ be a Hilbert space.
$J:X\rightarrow X',\hspace{1cm}J(x):=(\cdot,x)$
is a complex conjugated isometric isomorphism between $X$ and it's dual space $X'$.
Would there be any problems as a result of changing the definition to $J(x):=(x,\cdot)$ ?

In the case of complex scalars $J(x)=(x,.)$ would not define a linear map on $X$ for fixed $x$. It would be conjugate linear.
