It seems like you are defining political as:
Political - (defn) relating to the ideas or strategies of a particular party or group in politics
Whereas in within the context of this discussion, i.e. is Grothendieck an Anarchist?, political is being used to mean:
Political - (defn) an ethical philosophy of society and government.
However Grothendieck is political under both definitions:
(1). he formed and participated in a political group which attempted to advance policies (defn 1), (2). and those policies were based on an ethical philosophy of society which he believed in (defn 2).
- mikorym 7y agoMy definition is this: Political—Promoting the influence of a group of people x on some group of people y, often in an insistent manner and often without the critical evaluation of subject matter. Apolitical—Being opposed, for most x and y, to the influence of some group of people x on some group of people y. When in some unfortunate cases in life, some influence of x on y is tolerated, it is only tolerated because of the subject matter, and not tolerated because of the particular humans that comprise x (promoting them) or the set y (subjecting them).
