in famed platonist iris murdoch’s essay on god and good she says that ego prevents us from recognizing that another person is as real as oneself. attention turned outward toward others without interference from the ego allows us to liberate our souls from fantasy and attend to a reality in the illuminating light of transcendent Goodness

Emmanuel levinas

believed that Justice is meaningful “to the extent that other persons are encountered in their individuality.”
Basically - if you don’t see other people as important, real humans it’s almost impossible to have a meaningful sense of justice.
his writing is incredibly dense but worth it

EMOTION AND DIVINE EMANATION

This are simply ramblings from my personal notes
Humanity is essentially the ability to express genuine emotion (?)
Humans tend to project human characteristics onto non human things
Things with emotions tend to project emotion onto things without it
Emotion is the light consciousness shines on the things it perceives
Our emotion is projected onto us by god(?)
