“I am a very big fan of the nation, actually. In Cicero's time, there was this idea that although we were members of the whole world of human beings, we also needed to connect our imaginations to a smaller unit. The smaller unit was something we knew we could live or die for, as Cicero died for the Roman republic.” WorldHumansIdeasWholeBigsDiesNationsImaginationHuman BeingsFansNeededMembersDiedWhole WorldRepublicUnits Author:Martha C.

“Disgust relies on moral obtuseness. It is possible to view another human being as a slimy slug or a piece of revolting trash only if one has never made a serious good-faith attempt to see the world through that person’s eyes or to experience that person’s feelings. Disgust imputes to the other a subhuman nature. How, by contrast, do we ever become able to see one another as human? Only through the exercise of imagination.” IfsWorldHumansPersonsMadeFeelingsEyeAbleImaginationHuman BeingsViewsMoralPiecesSeriousExerciseRelyContrastDisgustingTrashGood FaithSlugs Book:From Disgust to Humanity: Sexual Orientation and Constitutional Law Source: From Disgust to Humanity: Sexual Orientation and Constitutional Law
