Agree with most of what he says. Fundamentally, we are relational and moral beings. In Africa there is the concept of Ubuntu "I am because we are". Identity and personhood arises within community, rather than being constructed ind

Thanks for sharing. I was trying to build something similar , mostly for myself to get an overview of papers. think I was being too specific which gave inconsistent results. Will check for the detailed prompt but it was basically: extract k

Think you are missing the point. This wasn’t an analogy about the actors , but rather the framing. During apartheid , and towards the end plenty were making arguments for gradual control ; gradual processes which just would have further per

I like to think about it this way. The “what” is often timeless and stays the same. The “how” the what is achieved changes. I need to get from point a to point b (the what) V1: walk/run/horse V2: carriage V3: train V4: cars Etc e
