Right, the social. Whitehead is pretty reductive toward individual entities. Like at the end of Science and the Modern World, Whitehead can't talk about an individual tree without talking about forests. Missing the tree for the forest.

I think Jung went the furthest on this topic. For him a man should be concerned to some degree with garnering power, and trying to hide that is poison (Jung was quite Nietzschean). It is not as though dominance or power is essentially evil or wrong, hierarchies are natural.
