Summary of the reading

Human beings live in society is a clear and indisputable fact, an immediate fact, from our birth we are already in a social setting. It is an irreversible fact. Also bees and ants make up a society; however it looks the same "our social life" and the organization imposed on bees and ants. The first thing you should perhaps ask whether, as a human being is necessarily moral, it is also necessarily social.

Or on the contrary, our relationship with other men and women is essential, original and constitutive of human beings. If true the latter, the social dimension of human beings would not be an either side, but constitute the very reality of our being, moral and social reality (Green, Rene, 2005).

Under this original relation to other selves, our life is living, and our existence is properly co-existing (Green, Rene, 2005).

In such an institution and as such corresponds to a primary and social control. Moreover, the institutions will crystallize and acquire objectivity, are experienced as possessing its own reality, which presents the individual as an external and coercive fact (which exerts pressure), "exercise over him a power of coercion".
