This is the first name of a Kant-inspired thinker whose conception of personhood rejects a countryman’s communitarianism (15[1])for distinguishing between humans and persons. A thinker with this first name sought to help his compatriots understand Euro-Christian and Islamic principles with his ideology of (*) Consciencism. A concept defined as “universality plus difference” titles a book subtitled “Ethics in a World of (10[1])Strangers” by an NYU professor with this first name, who advocated for being a citizen of the world in that book, Cosmopolitanism.
