And in the course of his discussion of "the nature of society" he
attributes to men, conceived as lying "somewhere in the scale of
complexity between protozoa and nations, not only the properties

differs even more radicalry from the merely biological theory which
ignores or denies consciousness than from the strictly, or narrowly,
personalistic conception which attributes consciousness to selves as
distinguished from conscious organisms.
