   MacIntyre argues that any sociological explanation must explore the moti-vations behind social action. Descriptions of so-called social facts cannot avoid evaluating practices, or even the internal goods of practices, as mor-ally good or bad. In other words, MacIntyre’s concept of virtue also implies that the study of virtue in society must refer t...

   Is there an implicit ontology of personhood in sociology?

   • An implicit ontology of personhood is in fact at work in sociology. Further, not all ontological assumptions about persons and social structures are all compatible. Examining the ontological assumptions about persons and philosophical commitments about societies is thus needed to develop a bet-ter concept of the person.

   What is the difference between an individual and a person?

   • For personalists, the difference between an individual and a person is that an individual can be exchanged for another individual, but a person is unique and irreplaceable. In addition, for personalists, the relationality and communion of persons are not created but rather ontologically real (Crosby 2004; Wojtyla 1979).

   Are identities personal or social?

   • Schools of thought within the identity literature tend to emphasize either personal or social contents and either personal or social processes. However, I argue here that identities are inescapably both personal and social, in their content and in the processes by which they are formed, maintained, and changed over time.
