We go from the idea of the individ ual (vs. “the collect ive”), to sim ply seeing society as an evolving, inter linked set of transindivi duals. This is the transpersonal perspective. It’s not just that we are each a billiard ball that “interacts” with other people. We co-emerge.
The idea of the transindividual sees the human being as inseparable from her language, her deep unconscious, her relations, roles, societal positions, values, emotions, developmental psychology, biological organism and so forth.
