The tension between nihilistic and empathetic tendencies within our history is used to reflexively examine the origins and causes of inequity with emphasis on the works of giants such as Paolo Freire, John Dewey, Karl Marx, and Vivekananda. Finally we address one particular issue in depth, namely the tension between excellence and equity in talent development in schools, east and west.
