The Metaphysical Question: What Is a Person?

What is a person? What is cause? What is free will? Those are all big metaphysical questions. There's a great deal of generality in the question so we're not interested in the nature of man as opposed to women for example that wouldn't be general enough. That is at the most abstract level. Abstracting from the very particular features they might just happen to have. A further example of metaphysics is the question what is a number? What are the candidates there? A number of candidates.
