This sounds suspiciously like Martin Buber! And even more like some
ideas that keep popping up for me recently--namely that persons/selves
are more like the threads between the knots in a (living) web, than the
knots themselves. The in-betweens (Buber's "narrow ridge?") is where the
action is. Buber would say that persons are born in relationship--we do
not exist as persons until someone notices and hears us. The
organization, the super-self, is born in the patterns of relationships
among the individuals.
Does this send us in any worthwhile directions?
