Individual and Person
The human being is both an individual and a person. It seems valid to use the concept of "individuality" with emphasis on his uniqueness, and the concept of "personality" with emphasis on his representative typicality. Every entity, from atom to man, is in some measure unique and in some measure typical. But what distinguishes a man from a cow or an ant is that he is a reflectively social person, contemplating human life as a drama. He plays a conscious role in the drama. He is a farmer, architect, statesman, etc., speaking and acting as representative of a type. Or, he may be speaking and acting for the Zeitgeist. What should be thought of as "personal" is this representative human activity.
