He therefore defends a dialectical relationship between individual and society (see Feffer, 1990), such that the classical dichotomies of mind / body, individual / collective, thought / language and cognition / emotion lose their meaning: Human society as we known it could not exist without minds and selves, since all its most characteristic features presuppose the possession of minds and selves by its individual members; but its individuals members would not possess mind and selves if these had not arisen within or emerged out of human social process in its lower stage of development – those stages at which it was merely a resultant of, and wholly dependent upon, the physiological differentiation and demands of individual organisms implicated in it (Mead, 1992, p. 227)	cache/ejop-392.htm	txt/ejop-392.txt
