Indeed, as observers have long noted, many mammals recognize them in other species. We may learn to extinguish the recognition for others, but it can be reignited. Nothing expresses pain, or the longing for freedom, more immediately than art in all its forms; this is one reason why the current suggestion that cultures belong to tribes is so misguided.

Escuchar a Dussel criticar vacía y continuamente al "eurocentrismo" y su "universalismo" mientras que revela su tacticismo político al defender un "universalismo" de grandes bloques fuertes de culturas que puedan oponerse al occidental ya que las culturas particulares realmente existentes serían demasiado débiles me desespera. Qué visión más deprimente, embustera y mítica de la humanidad y de su historia.

Leer este libro y sobre estos temas me pone triste al comprobar cuan contaminada por el veneno del tribalismo, del nacionalismo y del populismo está la izquierda actual, versiones que se diferencian en la dirección de sus análogos de derecha.

We can go a step further: viewing cultural productions as tribal commodities is a way to negate culture’s liberating power.

Proscriptions on cultural appropriation assume a kind of cultural purity few objects ever have. Even in ancient times, art was traded and influences were blended until it was often impossible to tell which tribe was the object’s owner – if ownership is the right model for culture at all. In The Lies That Bind, Appiah argues that it isn’t.
