ABSTRACT
Society is an objective unity, resulting immediately from the functional psychical occurrences within the composing elements and realized independently and outside of any observer. Socialization, the growing into a unity, is immediately the result of the mental activities of the entities involved. The phenomenological structure of society appears, notwithstanding this difference, as a system of functions in which each element has a specific individual place. The individual can lead a social life only in so far as the position ideally belonging to him, that is, harmonizing with his individual tendencies, is actually available. The group would be, not a perfect society, but a perfect society, perfectly socialized. In so far as the individual does not find the fulfilment of this prerequisite of his social existence, the socialization is incomplete. Complete socialization implies a thoroughgoing correlation between the individual and the surrounding circles, the full integration of his individual singularity with the life of the whole.
