“…There have in fact been some scattered discussions of phenotypic uniqueness with respect to individuality (Burgio, 1990;Clarke, 2016;De Sousa, 2005;Elwick, 2017;Godfrey-Smith, 2009;Guay & Pradeu, 2016;Hauskeller, 2004;Hull, 1978;. Uniqueness of specific kinds of phenotypic traits has also been considered, including immunological traits (Burgio, 1990;Ferner & Pradeu, 2017;Medawar, 1957;Minelli, 2020;Pradeu, 2012), morphological traits (Elwick, 2017;Pradeu, 2012), neurological traits (Boniolo, 2005;Pradeu, 2012), and behavioural traits .…”

“…However, there have been minor discussions of unique experiences as relevant to individuality (De Sousa, 2005;Ruiz-Mirazo et al, 2000). In addition, unique spatiotemporal position or historical origin is frequently considered as a condition on individuality (Guay & Pradeu, 2016;Hull, 1978;Strawson, 1959).…”

“…Process ontologies suggest that individuals are not static or set entities; rather, individuals are processes (of emergence, formation, maintenance, and so on) (Bueno, Chen, and Fagan 2018; Nicholson and Dupré 2018). Though similar to and often compatible with process ontologies, pluralist approaches to individuation strive to give accounts of how different kinds of individuals, different criteria, and different processes of individuation might all be ontologically real (Guay and Pradeu 2016). 14 Importantly, many pluralist accounts hope to account for contradiction within their various parts, and are intended to hold and address, without collapsing, fundamentally irreconcilable truths.…”

Despite emerging attention to Indigenous philosophies both within and outside of feminism, Indigenous logics remain relatively underexplored and underappreciated. By amplifying the voices of recent Indigenous philosophies and literatures, I seek to demonstrate that Indigenous logic is a crucial aspect of Indigenous resurgence as well as political and ethical resistance. Indigenous philosophies provide alternatives to the colonial, masculinist tendencies of classical logic in the form of paraconsistent—many-valued—logics. Specifically, when Indigenous logics embrace the possibility of true contradictions, they highlight aspects of the world rejected and ignored by classical logic and inspire a relational, decolonial imaginary. To demonstrate this, I look to biology, from which Indigenous logics are often explicitly excluded, and consider one problem that would benefit from an Indigenous, paraconsistent analysis: that of the biological individual. This article is an effort to expand the arenas in which allied feminists can responsibly take up and deploy these decolonial logics.

“…The feel of being unjustly treated, whether real or imagined, also influences these dynamics. In assessing the relationships between Syrian Arab refugees and their hosting communities in neighbouring Arab countries, Guay (2015) noted that perceived injustice between groups weakens inter-group cohesion from the outset and influences beliefs around equity and fairness and what constitutes these. Historical events that have caused trauma in particular seem to have an important effect on such perceptions as well and can harden distinctions between groups, furthering divisions especially if not recognized (Siddiqi, 2010;Adams, 2011).…”

Through analysis of primary qualitative data collected in Nineveh, Kirkuk, and Sulaimaniya Governorates in Iraq, this article seeks to explore the rapidly shifting and fragmenting identity dynamics at play in the emerging aftermath of ISIS and the impact that this conflict – and previous legacies of violence and repression – has had on relationships within and between groups, and between groups and the state. Communities increasingly position themselves against one another in relation to vindication of rights and protection. This zero‐sum stance comes from a history of mismanagement of communities and their respective grievances by the state and international partners. Formal acknowledgement of suffering across groups by the state may serve as a first step to break this cycle of negation toward one of inclusion, in the midst of mass displacement and emerging population returns.
