Now here is where I differ. As I understand it the Social level only
comes into play when two or more bodies come together. I would have said
"the language our individual intellects is built upon is the language
provided by our social patterns of value called our COMMUNITIES." And,
our communities are built upon our organic patterns of value called our
bodies.
I've always thought of it this way, until you brought up the sheep
question....
I think the problem lies in where you split the Social level from the
Organic level.
A cell is an organized group of atoms
A body is an organized group of cells
A community is an organized group of bodies
(nb I'm avoiding using the words social and society because it may be a
problem of terminology)
I would have said that the cell is Organic value and the body is also
Organic value albeit more complex than the cell. I feel that only the
community is Social value.
I'm not sure about this now. But I'm wondering if this is how everyone
else has interpreted it.
