The Meaning of Loyalty, Part 1, 1951 May 6


Listen Later

In this first lecture on The Meaning of Loyalty, Thurman speaks to the ways in which individuals are involved in their social context. Loyalty represents the fusion of a person's inner will and an outside cause. This is not simply a social matter for Thurman, but also a fundamental structure of the universe. Loyal commitment brings all the disparate parts of the personality into a single whole. Thurman ends by describing what it means to be loyal to a person. "The thing that is primary is my devotion to the tie that unites me and you."
