Abstract:  

Recent works indicate that unlike most Western thinkers, those in many other parts of globe tend to prize relationality. These relational values include enjoying a sense of togetherness, belonging, participating cooperatively, creating something new, and so on. In this talk, I consider what peaceful coexistence would look like if grounded on relational values.
