In this essay I go deeper into the notion that we are composed of parts. In understanding the solarpunk self we need to take these parts into consideration because they can be at different stages of development. If we, despite our usual behaviour, frequently do things that defy our best intentions, then we need to understand why these parts of us do what they do. This was inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the work of Richard Schwartz.

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.
