Imagining the world that warrants our imagination – the revelation of ontogeny
To analyse the ontogeny of sociality in any given case is to throw into question various current ideas of sociality as instinct, or as based in an innate theory of mind, or as the artifact of actor-networks, or as necessitating certain ideas of agency. This paper argues that an understanding of human autopoiesis as an historical process provides for a unified model of human being in which sociality can be seen to be the emergent artifact of human ontogeny. The argument of the paper runs counter to Tuomela's unwieldy formulation of the I-mode and the We-mode which cannot encompass the multiplicity that is human being in the world or, more exactly, the processes in which the uniqueness that is peculiar to every one of us is located in what we have in common. The paper uses the work of neurobiologists Maturana & Varela and the more recent work of philosopher Evan Thompson and dynamic systems theorists such as Robert Lickliter and Alan Fogel to argue that human sociality is at once the condition for and the product of what Castoriadis calls ‘the imaginary’, the ontological source of all human realities.
