Soul, Group
Also, let us make an end to the confused conception of a group soul. The spirit of concordance is expressed with especial force in animals before individuality has been actualized. But it is incorrect to call the concordant soul a group soul. Translations and commentaries have produced this confusion. Plato’s conception of twin souls not only was closer to the truth but was expressed beautifully. Thus, let us not use this erroneous term group soul; let us replace it with the term spiritual concordance . Also among men such concordance is a valuable achievement; it builds individuality. (FW I, 376)
