In this chapter, we have introduced you to the ideas of person and personhood. We have challenged views of persons that privilege cognitive and physical attributes as key characteristics of persons. If you are new to this debate then we realise that this can be challenging to engage with. However, as you consider your own personhood, you will see how you pay attention to other aspects of you as a person and even take these physical and cognitive perspectives for granted – they form the background to your life. As active agents in the world, we constantly evolve, change and grow and through this evolution we influence and are influenced by our interior and exterior qualities, traits and circumstances. Thus being a person is a dynamic state.
