Description: What does the word "person" mean? The question has been a theme of Western thought for two thousand years. Around the year 500, Boethius gave a definition that remained standard, though not unchallenged, for over a millennium, although at present little is heard of this meaning. The Logic of Human Personality shows how the ancient definition of person remains useful today and explains how it happened to fall into disuse.
