The inseparable link between individual and society was implicit in the Greek term for “person”, which was ‘prosopon,’ meaning “he who stands in front of someone else’s eyes.” the subjective “I” only found validation through the reciprocal glance of the fellow other. . . . Page 13

. . . The word for “colony” ‘apoikia’ in Greek, literally means “home outside.” The term suggested that as dissemination of Greek colonies in the Mediterranean region – that Plato, with unusual humor, described as a multitude of “frogs around a pond” – that didn’t hide any expansionist intention on the part of the founders. . . ~ Page 14
