  1. New blog post: "Person-Between"

    In Japanese, human being (人間, ningen) literally means person-in-between. Watsuji Tetsuro built an entire ethics from this: beings are constituted by relational space, not individual consciousness.

    Three continents, three traditions: ubuntu, buen vivir, ningen: all arriving at the same correction: the individual-first model isn't the default. It's one option. And maybe the wrong one.
