An actual entity is a concrete unity , self-creative , ontologically primary , and thus a one of many , whereas a Society is a composite whole , created in terms of the interaction of its constituents , ontologically secondary , and thus a one in many . This fact leads to the dismal conclusion that the international community lacking these inner cohesive forces , must find its first unity through coercive force to a larger degree than is compatible with the necessities of justice . Shore sets forth a penetrating historical analysis of the paradoxical role that the familiar anthropological concept of psychic unity had long played in keeping cultural anthropology away from a serious interest in the work of cognitive psychology . The sum total of religion is to feel that , in its highest unity , all that moves us in feeling is one ; to feel that aught single and particular is only possible by means of this unity ; to feel , that is to say , that our being and living is a being and living in and through God . Shore offers a superb exposition on why Geertz ( as well as others ) , out of a muddle over denying psychic unity , shrank from the conceptual consequences of placing culture in the mind as well , leaving unrealized the " twice-born " nature of culture .
