Well, perhaps not in that sense of "philosophy", but I'm not sure that's
what was necessarily meant, or if it was, I apologize for my
misunderstanding.  The original e-mail was referring to a central idea
that permeates the language, so in that sense, I would say that that
kind of stratification is an example.  The central idea here being that
humanity is naturally divided up into a fairly rigid hierarchy, and that
relationships within this hierarchy are of great importance in
interpersonal relationships.
