Inclusion Through Exclusion

Universal love necessitates the existence of an excluded other, underscoring a paradox where societal acceptance often hinges on the marginalization of specific individuals. This dynamic is reflected in literary examples like 'The Lottery' and 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.' Furthermore, the ethical motivations in political philosophy can align with principles of universal love, such as those found in Christian teachings, suggesting a deeper connection between these moral frameworks and the ideas expressed by thinkers like Marx and Hegel.
