Society has in it selves or “I”s aware of other selves as “I”s.  The question about society is whether the existence of other “I”s and their apprehension by a single “I,” makes for the growth of the “I” apprehending the others.  If such existence and such apprehension are good for an individual “I,” then society is a means of individualism.  Deeply, the “I” glories in the existence of other “I”s.  The “I” has an endless desire for the existence of “you.”
