Quantification, Human, Person

While De-Personalization usually meets with disapproval, that judgment tends to lack Moral resonance.  One reason for such tepidity might be reflected in the contingent status of 'impersonal', which, like 'detached', can mean either 'impartial' or 'uncaring', depending on the circumstances.  Another reason might be that a systematic derivation of Person seems to be lacking.  Now, one approach is to define 'Person' as 'individual Human'.  However, that derivation burdens the concept with the previously discussed problem that 'individual' actually renders indistinct what it quantifies, as well as with Individual-Universal antagonism.  So, instead, without those burdens, is an alternative Quantifier--Particular, which designates a substantive as a Part of a Whole, thereby preserving its distinction from other Parts.  Accordingly, 'Person' can be defined as 'particular Human', from which it follows that De-Personalization is particular De-Humanization, and the bearer of whatever Moral status that that might entail.  In other words, if the species has an active principle of generating unique Particulars, e. g. Variations in Darwinism, and such a unique Particular is what a Person is, then De-Personalization is a type of De-Humanization, i. e. stifling the Humanness of a Person just as much a subjecting them to involuntary functioning is.
