According to philosophy
Philosophically speaking, the concept involves three main elements or aspects, such as: substantiality, individuality and rationality. A person indicates the essence of what is founded, and when he is spoken of, he is referred to as a "who".
This concept from the philosophical point of view comes from the 4th and 5th centuries, when the term was taken from the theater, adapting it to these currents of thought and trying to differentiate it or find similarities with the beliefs about the Word (referring to God). In this way, it was possible to establish the definition of God the Father, the Holy Spirit, the divinities and the human being himself.
