Not only is the self entwined in society; it owes society its existence in the most literal sense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our society is intertwined with the economy that we've built, which is a fantastically complex system. I hope that my writing about it might do some good, but that's not why I do it.
It should seem, then, that the nature of society dictates another, a higher branch, whose superiority arises from its being the interested and natural conservator of the universal interest.
I think society is both something that's very real and very powerful, but on the whole quite problematic.
I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us.
Every society needs to examine itself in relation to other societies.
I suppose that is my central obsession. What we owe to society, what we owe to ourselves.
A self does not amount to much, but no self is an island; each exists in a fabric of relations that is now more complex and mobile than ever before.
I believe that the plight of life and all existence is to master one's self, you know, one day at a time.
Everybody should be affected by their own realities in their own lives, their own struggles in their own lives. It makes us who we are, and we all know that.
Society is at odds with itself.
