- the personal/subjective side: Jungian individuation/integration, differentiation, adaptive thinking, emotional intelligence, how to assess others and oneself, etc.

- epistemology: what is knowledge? What do I know? What is the value/status of different types of knowledge? How may I assess what kind and whether I have ‘knowledge’? What does it entitle me to say or claim? What does it entitle/suggest/obligate me to do (action) in the world? Detachment/disinterestedness, objectivity, etc.

- alignment: alignment with the text in order to know and internalise it; alignment between text and world and self and world; alignment with your own thoughts/judgements/criticism/decisions

- discourse ethics, communicative rationality, dialogical learning, deliberative democracy, democratological neomandarinisation, etc.
