This article examines the concept and reality of "Whoness." By clarifying the literal and technical meaning of "Whoness" and investigating the method of attaining it through intuition and rational analysis, we will demonstrate that "Whoness" is a collection of "I" (self), "attributes," "actions," and "relation" that these attributes and actions have with the "I." Furthermore, we will explore the precedence and posteriority of "attribute" and "action" in the realm of Whoness and show that both can precede each other. We will also revisit the concept and reality of "will," as one of the fundamental aspects of human existence, and examine its influence on the determination of "Whoness." In conclusion, we arrive at the result that the will influences the determination of human Whoness in three ways: 1) The will itself is one of the attributes of the human being that is related to their "I" and determines their Whoness. 2) The will leads to action, and the action has a relation with the "I" that constitutes Whoness. 3) Actions resulting from the will create attributes in the human being that are related to their "I," and consequently, play a role in the determination of Whoness.
