Additional text

Mark Freeman sets a frame for a poetics of the other with passion and deep conviction. This work is grounded in the postmodern challenge of the core notion of the self that has been the underpinning of the discipline of psychology... The power of The Priority of the Other is that it presents a positive and provocative summons to awaken to the other. It is a summons desperately needed in a world out-of-balance with ego orientation rather than person orientation... Mark Freeman's work is of critical importance to anyone daring to wrestle with the unbouded question of how we can co-construct a world that is inclusive, just and peaceful.
