Consistent with Stern's own view of the potential of critical personalism \u003cem\u003evis-a-vis\u003c\/em\u003e socio-ethical concerns, the book then explores how the framework could facilitate a transcendence of thinking about racial and other social relationships beyond currently prevailing narratives about \u003cem\u003epersonkinds\u003c\/em\u003e into narratives that are actually about \u003cem\u003epersons.\u003c\/em\u003e This part of the book includes a chapter discussing Stern's own historical efforts in this direction, serving to highlight the non-individualistic nature of critically personalistic thinking.
