 THE NATURE OF THE SOCIAL UNITY 22J

the social process is circuitous, consisting of interdependent parts. It is organic in the same sense that a plant is organic quasi- organic or objectively organic. A social group is composed of persons who are conscious individuals, and all real social ends are to be found in these individuals. The social unity, then, is an objectively organic unity whose constituent parts are psychic individuals.
