Political Philosophy as if the Neighbour Mattered


In an age of rising inequality and social fracture, Political Philosophy as if the Neighbour Mattered reimagines governance around one timeless principle — love thy neighbour as thyself. This framework transforms moral empathy into measurable public policy, proposing a “Loving Republic” where care becomes infrastructure, justice is restorative, and every law passes the “neighbour impact” test. Drawing from thinkers across civilizations — from Bhishma and Confucius to Rawls, Gandhi, and Habermas — it offers a practical constitutional model for inclusive, ecological, and compassionate governance that treats the good society not as an abstraction, but as a shared moral practice.

Testing AI


In a recent exchange with a friend, we debated whether AI’s poetic output can ever rival human expression. My friend challenged me to test it by letting an AI complete the last lines of my poem The Many Guises. The results surprised us both—not because AI mirrored my inner voice, but because it offered fresh closures that were just as valid, though from a more universal lens. This raises the question: is poetry about authentic self-expression, or is it about opening to perspectives beyond the self? Perhaps we are all but flux, wearing many guises.
