Person is a Forensick term.

John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1700)

Mere bones?

Stanisław Lem, Imaginary Magnitude (1973)

Reason, an Ignis fatuus, of the Mind,

Which leaving light of Nature, sense, behind;

Pathless and dan’grous wandring way it takes,

Through errors, Fenny-Boggs, and Thorny Brakes;

Whilst the misguided follower, climbs with pain,

Mountains of whimseys, heap’d in his own Brain:

Stumbling from thought to thought, falls headlong down,

Into doubt’s boundless Sea, where like to drown,

Books bear him up a while, and makes him try,

To swim with Bladders of Philosophy;

In hopes still t’overtake th’escaping light,

The Vapour dances in his dazling sight,

Till spent, it leaves him to eternal Night.

John Wilmot, 2nd Earl Of Rochester, ‘A Satyre against Reason and Mankind’ (1679)
