However, the logic of fecundity-election-responsibility leaves the State and the family as two distinct human collectivities with nothing to mediate between their ontological and moral characteristics.
Whilst Hartmann asserts that human beings, collectivities and history are stratified formations (e.g., A.55a), he never discusses the nature of these complex formations in detail.
But "I is another" is exhilarating, a revelation, which, at the very least, acknowledges one's undifferentiated human substance or collectivity, as for a child... On a blue summer evening I shall go down the path And, brushed by wheat, walk on the fine grass.
It does not deal with the gradation of the total formations of thing, living being, human being, and collectivity.
Hartmann also states that higher levels do not present themselves as soul and spirit, but as human being and collectivity, or as human being and history (A.52c).
A social movement is a collectivity or a collective enterprise.
Two developments never considered by Hartmann are (1) the distinction between individual and collective forms of intentionality, and (2) a principled distinction between the complexes that are individual human beings and the complexes that are collectivities.
In contexts in which the human race can itself be viewed as a collectivity, loyalty to it may sometimes be attributed.
An aggregate collectivity, Peter French writes, is "merely a collection of people" (French 1984, p. 5).
The Interspecifics Collective, however, a self-described "nomadic multispecies collectivity" in Mexico City, might change that.
