0023 Here are my associations, so far.

0024 The Greimas square for the term, “people”, slowly manifests.

A is the focal word, “people”.

B is the objectification of the subject (the person) by various -isms.  Each -isms strives to exclude the other.  In this regard, they are like normal contexts.  -Isms are empirio-schematic.  Social behaviors serve as phenomena.  Observations and measurements of phenomena permit explicit abstractions.  Explicit abstractions initiate sensible constructions of existential significance.  The fourth political theory aims to interpret that existential significance.

C is the narod, encompassing both the person and the community.  The narod is a noumenon.  Only philosophy can address noumena, because a noumenon cannot be objectified as its phenomena.  As such, the term, “narod”, reminds us that people in community cannot be understood as phenomena.  The narod cannot be distilled into individuals, classes, citizens and so on.  The narod is an actuality that philosophy struggles to articulate, but cannot, because spoken words fail.  Nevertheless, the articulation must be made, because the question is posed. Who do we say that we are?

Every people faces an ethnosociological question.

D is what remains.

0025 What goes into D?
