Excerpt from The Christian Reformer, Vol. 3: A Monthly Magazine of Religious Thought and Life, January to June, 1887Erson and Personality are terms frequently used, but often with a very indistinct apprehension of the various senses they bear. Much confusion has been caused, both in common and religious discourse, by the neglect of proper definitions. Personality belongs to all Persons and only to them and the meaning of the abstract term agrees with that of the noun from which it is formed. Human personality must be known, before there can be any knowledge of that which is Divine, and with both there is the same diversity in the meaning of words. Propositions which are true and im portant with one sense, are untrue and worthless with another. We propose, therefore, to consider brie¿y the different kinds of Personality, which should be distinguished in order to avoid error. One kind belongs to individuals, another to societies, and another to ofiees, while figurative language is often employed when no real persons are meant, or persons are referred to in a way which, taken literally, cannot possibly be true. All these personalities agree in some things, but differ in others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
