Dear Gavin,
perhaps I should simply ask: Does the first part of the quotation anwer
the motivational question "Why do you want to help people...?" ? But the
answer is a too obvious 'yes': You have not observed one human action that
cannot be explained in that way. Thus surely including yours.
Anyway, this 'yes' doesn't tell me much, because I am confused about the
'aggregated form of POWER and dependence'. I guess, aggregated means
aggregated from all the conceptual perspectives and approaches you
mentioned in your mail and perhaps many more. And I am simply overwhelmed
when I think of the task to aggregate this form of power out of that
diversity of approaches.
So let me ask differently: Do you want to help people because you want
power and do you need that stuff because you feel dependent?
Liebe Gruesse,
Winfried
