IQBAL, MUHAMMAD
1877–1938
Khudī (Selfhood) (The Becoming of the Provisional Collective)
Iqbal: the self is not given but built, through tension with the world, into a unique center of action. CoCA inherits the developmental picture at the institutional scale. The Provisional Collective is not a fixed body but a self-in-formation, constructed by the disciplined act of meeting, of recording, of refusing dissolution. The Church grows a khudī. The annual report is the diagnostic.
