Key Notes
diagnosis
Odysseus' fake madness is read as a stratagem designed to fail, so the Greeks can force him to Troy and spare him responsibility for choosing war over home.
evidence
The Milgram experiment shows, for Jiang's purposes, that people can inflict pain when responsibility is transferred to an authority figure.
model
Plato's cave becomes Jiang's metaphor for Asha: liberation is incomplete until the freed person returns to help others escape.
normative
Asha is not only self-truth; the one who sees truth has a responsibility to help others see it too.
model
In real life, guilt and responsibility are usually mixed; people struggle to forgive others because they first cannot forgive themselves.
definition
Human beings are special because they are both divinely created and created by universal laws; that dual nature gives humans imagination, failure, and responsibility to perfect the world.
