Personalism

Personalism is an intellectual stance that emphasizes the importance of human persons. Personalism exists in many different versions, and this makes it somewhat difficult to define as a philosophical and theological movement.[1] Friedrich Schleiermacher first used the term personalism (German: Personalismus) in print in 1799.[2] One can trace the concept back to earlier thinkers in various parts of the world.[3]
