- Abstract:
- There is a consensus among scientists that human beings are social animals Hinduism has the pivotal concept of Dharma – social order and roles Confucianism had the central concept of self as others. The Filipino culture has the “Kapwa [shared identity] norm and value which si embedded in Filipino culture. yet materialists have argued that 1) “There is no psychology of groups” (Allport’s Taboo – 1927) and/or 2) human consciousness is restricted to the firing of neurons in the brain and so there cannot be any social consciousness. That is an absurd argument. It does not follow from the fact that neurons fire in the brain that there is no social consciousness!
