Developmental stages (in the non-tangible subjective and intersubjective domains) have often been viewed as a contentious issue for many...as they probably should be. It is also interesting to ponder on whether that contention or suspicion itself is "developmentally" arising - for better or worse. Daniel will help us soften some of the harder edges around this topic of developmental stages while also, perhaps, helping us firm-up some of the sloppier, loose-ends. Daniel Görtz, PhD is a political philosopher, sociologist and author. He is a leader of “the Nordic school” of metamodernism. Along with Emil Ejner Friis, Daniel has a major influence on the works written by Hanzi Freinacht (The Listening Society, Nordic Ideology).
