Key to the definition of person is that it can’t be defined in terms of any of the soul’s or nature’s functions. As part of what it means to be human is to have a soul (however you want to gloss that), this means that person can’t be defined as the sum total of will, memory (Augustine), consciousness, etc.
The soul is the internal force that struggles as it pushes against or around the constraints of reality in order to continue being!
