People From Faxe Municipality
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

In fact, Nielsen completed the overture only on 3 November, a week before the opera's premiere. The world premiere of ''Maskarade'' took place at Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen on 11 November 1906. It ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
