<p>Hi All - Pleased to announce that I'll be presenting a session on the participatory design of civics education at this year's National Conference on Dialogue and Deliberation. I've not been to this event before, but it looks really interesting. Anyone else interested in going? <a href="https://www.ncdd.org/ncdd2023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Conference on Dialogue and Deliberation 2023</a></p>

<p>On a hunch, I checked, and this year is the 100th anniversary of Martin Buber's I and Thou (the original version in German). Buber was a Jewish philosopher. I had read I and Thou at least 25 years ago, and was curious to re-read it. So I am doing that now, through my older lenses (intellectual, intuitive, and ocular). And even if Follett had never read Buber or vice-versa (very possible), there clearly was a common focus on relation.</p>
<p>The core idea in Buber's concise but profound book…</p>
<p>On a hunch, I checked, and this year is the 100th anniversary of Martin Buber's I and Thou (the original version in German). Buber was a Jewish philosopher. I had read I and Thou at least 25 years ago, and was curious to re-read it. So I am doing that now, through my older lenses (intellectual, intuitive, and ocular). And even if Follett had never read Buber or vice-versa (very possible), there clearly was a common focus on relation.</p>
<p>The core idea in Buber's concise but profound book is that there are two "basic words" (two basic modes of being in the world): I-It and I-You. I-It is a relationship of objectification (both of other and of self); I-You is true relation. The I in I-It is not the same I as the I in I-You. Anyway, I am into it and recommend it.</p>
<p>Born ten years later than Follett, Buber didn't visit the US until 1951. He died in 1965. But, obviously, he lives on in a way. Like Follett.</p> Presentation to the International Society of Systems Sciences "Mini-Symposium" - March 11 2023tag:mpfollett.ning.com,2023-03-11:3634948:Topic:731422023-03-11T21:31:08.083ZPeter Spencehttp://mpfollett.ning.com/profile/PeterSpence
