If a moderator sees this, could they please comment on the content of the essays and whether they are needed to get the most out of the course? Thanks.

The concept of the social other seems sound and the fact that we learn to desire through others is often, but surely not always, the case. Peer pressure seems to operate a bit differently though as I may do something not because I desire to do it but because by doing it I hope I will find belonging in a group.

It seems to me that what James is saying is profound in terms of informing what the notion of being a ‘free’ human being can mean.
