I have now divided my thesis into four overall parts:

Part I: What are human beings?

Part II: Are human beings equals?

Part III: Are human beings meaningful equals?

Part IV: What are the implications hereof?

At present, I have a rough draft of Part I and am in the midst of writing a rough draft of Part II. I am aiming to speed up my progress in Year 2 of the PhD, and I am confident that I am on track to meeting my deadlines.
