During the War for American Independence, 78 men were commissioned as general officers into the Continental Army by the Continental Congress. Many of these generals commanded troops with differing levels of competence and success. George Washington is typically seen as most important general, however throughout the war a number of his subordinates were able to distinguish themselves amongst their peers. One such general was Nathanael Greene. At the end of the Revolutionary War, Greene would become Washington’s most important subordinate, as demonstrated by Edward Lengel’s assessment of Greene as “the youngest and most capable of Washington’s generals.” Washington and Greene developed a strong, positive and close relationship between themselves. Greene began his life in the military after having been raised a Quaker. With limited access to literature and knowledge in his younger years, Greene became an avid reader which equipped him with the knowledge necessary to excel as a general during the war. Through his devoted study of military operations, firsthand experience and natural abilities as a soldier, Greene became an excellent military commander. He would become known for his successful southern campaign, during which, he loosened British control of the South and helped lead the war to its climax at Yorktown. Throughout the war, he was involved in a number high profile battles where he built a reputation of being an elite strategist who also understood unconventional warfare, logistics, and the importance of military-civil affairs and had a natural political/social acumen. The thesis of this paper is that Greene’s proven reputation of being a soldier, strategist and statesman would cause him to become the second greates...

Firstly, the body of the Other can be recognised as being of the same basic nature as the Individual, as an actively engaged entity. However, this is not sufficient to constitute the idea of both the Individual and Other existing in a shared world. For merleau-ponty, when the individual observes the Other, they are understood as their attitudes and projects towards the world. Meaning that when we see the Other playing a game, we see them as an individual person interacting with an object in the same way that the individual themself does themself. Merleau-Ponty explains the iea as “my world is no longer merely mine, it is no longer present only to me” (Merleau-Ponty, 2013, p. 369). Meaning that as the Individual observes the Other interacting in the world one becomes aware that one world is not wholly private and individual because here the Other is, freely interacting with the world in the same way as the Individual. Thus leading us to see that the Other not as an object, but instead as a subject.
