Abstract
The discussion introduces a range of challenges that we face in terms of learning to live affective and examined lives. As the chapter develops, we consider how our complex interrelations play a significant role in how we learn to think and correspond with one another and with our context. The chapter seeks to establish the advantages to be found through engagement in cooperative and developmental projects, where realising ideas together—rather than seeking to individually own them—supports our progress towards a unifying wholeness. The debate embraces a range of contemporary thinkers who, like Spinoza, appreciate that in and through behaviour that is ethical, we can come to acknowledge the benefits to be gained in our interconnected futures.
