## Resource

In this essay, I continue my redefinition of the self in a solarpunk culture. We discuss the quality of relations using Martin Buber's distinction between "You" and "It", and then Levinas distinction between "totality" and "infinity". We apply it to the concept of the sexual citizen, using that as our case study for defining ethical relations. As Levinas and Beauvoir say, the sexual relation is exemplary of the ethical.
