I guess since you are a philosopher of education, I mean, to what extent can thought be sort of universal or abstracted beyond the local or have nothing to do with the local? where it is a universal thought that you can sort of work with, rather than a thought that comes specifically from some geography.

So this is a really hot topic you've touched on in philosophy, and this is one reason why people will sort of puzzle when I say that philosophy of education needs to become more global or globalized from a certain perspective.

there is the idea that there's this methodology called conceptual analysis.
13:33
And in conceptual analysis, you're looking at these concepts which could be abstracted from any culture.
13:41
And it's seen as this methodology that could be universal in the sense that it doesn't matter where you are.
13:47
So if you take two concepts that I like to work on recently are gratitude and humility.
13:52
So if you think about gratitude, you can sort of come up with this definition that would make sense to anybody, anywhere.
