A person may be defined as a point of intersection of all social relations, the body being the spatial location of the point of intersection; the concept of person contains all those parts of the world and relations which are important for the life process of the individual. These parts are the basis of the identity of the individual, his self.
There is no individual or conscious experience without the common cooperative organization. An individual gets his characteristics and his conscious experience gets its contents through the relations in the community. Neither may exist outside these relations, even in the case when the individual acts seemingly “alone”, separated physically from other people, as a hermit, for example.
