Lines: 18 My first alt.group posting. Well I'll read this a little while before unsubscribing. So are you guys going to rehash or rediscover all the old arguments by guys like Milton (No man is an island)? Or Rene Dubois "Identity versus Equality arguments?" This could be interesting, or dull. Wish you guys luck. Western thinking is so centered on self, it makes for a brief, but interesting diversion. Some years after I became interested in environmentalism and ecology, I discovered historical writings by some great thinkers (1800s-1950s) which if we had had them in 1970, we could have gone further. Standing on colleagues shoulders. It was depressing.
