As Raimund Stecker pointed out once: "We live in an age of personalities and not persons. If we speak of somebody we talk about her or his as a personality, hardly as a person."
Is a possible reason for this the fact that a lot of interpersonal contact is virtual, defined by media - mediated and rarely immediate?
What would it mean if we would love the singularity of someone?
But surely it is something I would yearn for and the love that Michael Pennington feels towards Shakespeare.
"Love is not love. Which alters when it alteration finds."
