The purpose of this article is to endorse Morgan's view that the terms "individual" and "person" might advantageously be more sharply distinguished from each other than they usually are; and also to mention that the present writer has previously spoken for such a distinction, but in a different direction from that proposed by Morgan. By the writer's suggestion the distinction would (a) be made on physical as well as on spiritual and social attributes; and would (b) make the "individual" merely an other no matter how similar to others, while "person" would be not merely an other but a different other. An individual's personality would then consist first and foremost in all its attributes, dynamic and static, which differentiate it from other individuals, especially of its own kind
